Print Recipe

A quick and easy homemade snack featuring crunchy almonds coated in a spicy, sweet sriracha glaze. Perfect for snacking or entertaining with a bold flavor punch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups raw almonds (about 280g), unroasted and unsalted
  • 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce (30ml)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or avocado oil (15ml)
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (5ml)
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (1g)
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (0.5g)
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt (2.5g)
  • Pinch of black pepper (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat to prevent sticking.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the oil, sriracha, honey (or maple syrup), smoked paprika, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper. Whisk gently until well blended.
  3. Add the raw almonds to the bowl. Toss thoroughly with a spoon or spatula, ensuring each almond is coated with the spicy mixture.
  4. Spread the coated almonds in a single layer on your prepared baking sheet, giving them space to roast evenly.
  5. Roast for 12 to 15 minutes, tossing once halfway through. Watch closely from the 10-minute mark to avoid burning.
  6. Remove from oven and let cool completely on the baking sheet to crisp up.
  7. Once cooled, transfer to an airtight container for storage or serve immediately.

Notes

If glaze is sticky when warm, toss almonds gently after cooling to separate. Adjust sriracha amount for desired heat. Watch oven temperature closely to avoid burning. For crunchier almonds, toast for 5 minutes before glazing. Store in airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks; avoid refrigeration to maintain crunch.
