If you need a snack, try these Sriracha Roasted Almonds. They are sweet, spicy, salty, and full of healthy fats — aka the perfect snack.

My husband and close friends will tell you, I can get hangry. In an effort to avoid turning into a total nightmare, I like to always have a snack nearby. While there are a lot of great snacks on the market, it is hard to predict what kind of snack “mood” will strike. Will I be in the mood for something salty? Sweet? Spicy? Crunchy? Sriracha Roasted Almonds cover all bases.

As an added bonus, they don’t require very many ingredients — just almonds, sriracha, brown sugar, soy sauce, and an egg white. The egg white is technically optional, but without it a good crunchy crust won’t form on the almonds. Just whisk the egg white until it is slightly frothy, then mix in the other ingredients before stirring in the almonds.

For easy cleanup, I recommend lining your sheet pan with a silicone baking mat. You can also use parchment paper, but I like the mats because they are washable and reusable. Otherwise, I would go through a lot of parchment.

While roasting, be sure to stir the almonds, breaking up any clumps, at least once about halfway through. This serves two purposes. The first is that the almonds will roast evenly. The second is that it gives the glaze an opportunity to get “craggley” (it’s a word… I think). This gives the Sriracha Roasted Almonds a lot of crispy edges, perfect for snacking.

    Spiced nuts make such a great snack! I bet it would be hard to eat just a handful of these!

    My husband and I are crazy for nuts. They’re such a great snack, but getting a twist on them like this is amazing. I love the idea of literally and figuratively spicing up a classic snack.

    I bought a ton of almonds to garnish a Chantilly Layer Cake with last week and I’ve been wondering how I can use them before I leave for vacation. The hubs and I love spicy food and these would totally double as the perfect travel food for our long road trip coming up!

    Hmmmm! Those almonds are totally calling my name! I would love to try this recipe but because of an aversion to eggs, can I omit the egg whites?

      You can! They won’t be as crunchy, but the flavor will still be there.

      Hi Kathy – sorry for the delay. It is the sauce, but I’m sure a powder would work as well!
