NOTES & TIPS


This recipe yields 1 cup of spiced almonds. It’s enough as a snack for a few people, and you can easily multiply the recipe to make a bigger batch to feed a larger crowd.
You can easily make adjustments to the spice mix, adding more or less of each to match your preferences. If you’re looking to customize the spiciness level of these almonds, I recommend keeping the 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne powder, and adjusting the quantity of sriracha sauce. Start with the recommended 1/2 teaspoon, and add more to taste.
The almonds are quite hot after cooking, so make sure to let them cool down to room temperature before storing.

These are tasty! Not sure if my almonds were roasted, mine said pasteurization steamed. The only caution is to be careful to not inhale the spices while cooking, as we coughed quite a bit! The result was worth it! Thank you.

I attempted to make it but unfortunately the dry rub had burned rather quickly – within 30 seconds to 1 minute. Not sure how to avoid this going forward.

To avoid this in the future, you can add olive oil and dry seasonings to a cold pan over medium heat. In other words, the olive oil is not preheated, and instead will slowly be brought up to heat as you stir in the spices and add almonds.

Another option is to follow the recipe as instructed except to use low heat instead of medium heat.

You can try substituting with another type of hot chili sauce.
