Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons gochujang or sriracha (choose your preferred heat level)
  • 3 tablespoons maple syrup (for that perfect sweetness)
  • 1 teaspoon nutritional yeast (adds a cheesy flavor without dairy)
  • 2 cups raw almonds (the star of the show)

Instructions

  • Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that your almonds will roast evenly and get that perfect crunch.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the gochujang or sriracha, maple syrup, and nutritional yeast. Mix well until you have a smooth, cohesive mixture.
  • Add the raw almonds to the bowl and use a spatula to toss them in the sweet and spicy sauce. Make sure every almond is evenly coated for the best flavor.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread the coated almonds in a single layer. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-15 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even toasting.
  • Once the almonds are golden brown and fragrant, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly. As they cool, they will become even crunchier. Enjoy your Sweet And Spicy Toasted Almonds warm or store them in an airtight container for later!
