Sriracha and Brown Sugar Almonds || Heather's Dish

I feel like I may – just maybe – use the word “addiction” a little too much.  To the point that should I do or eat or say or watch anything two times in a row, well HOLDTHEPHONE, it’s got to be an addiction.

SIDE NOTE: I just looked up the true definition for the word “addiction” and basically found out it only has to do with negative things like drugs and life-destroying things.  To which I have to admit that my whole entire post is now going to just sound silly.  I digress.

Anyway.

Sriracha and Brown Sugar Almonds || Heather's Dish

Let’s take a look at the things I’m “addicted” to lately:

  • Coffee. Always and forever amen. Although sadly I did get bumped back down to the green level with Starbucks for not earning my 30 stars in 12 months TO WHICH I SAY maybe they shouldn’t run out of my favorite iced black tea in the afternoons. Homegirl would show up a little more if my neighborhood Starbucks would show up for me. Just sayin’.
  • Thai crunch salad. I could really truly totally just drink a vat of the dressing. Also, eat lots of peanuts on it. You must trust me here.
  • Friends. Believe it or not I never really watched Friends until the last season of the show.  I KNOW.  But in my defense I wasn’t allowed to when it first came out because the content was a little racy, and then I just didn’t care. Now I can’t get enough and I laugh hysterically at every show. 4 times a day minimum – thank you TBS.
  • Stitch Fix. I am so not a fashion maven, but Stitch Fix makes me look like one. I am planning on doing a full post on my latest fix soon, but for now let me tell you that I have a new shirt that has basically evolved my entire wardrobe. So not kidding.  Want to sign up? —> here you go!
  • Almonds and pecans with extra flavor. This is where today’s recipe comes in. The other day I was making a super flavorful recipe for bar nuts for ChefMom and I could not stop creating new flavor combinations in my head. This little brainchild is a result of that session and I kid you not I could not stop eating them the moment they were cool enough to handle.  THEY ARE SO GOOD.

Sriracha and Brown Sugar Almonds || Heather's Dish

SRIRACHA AND BROWN SUGAR ALMONDS

  • 1 cup raw shelled almonds
  • 1 Tbsp light brown sugar
  • 1-1/2 tsp Sriracha hot sauce
  • 1 tsp soy sauce

Preheat oven to 350. Place the almonds on a baking sheet in a single layer. Toast in the oven for about 10 minutes, stirring every 2 minutes or so until the almonds are toasted and fragrant. Remove from the oven and pour onto a cold plate until the Sriracha sauce is done. For the Sriracha and brown sugar sauce bring the brown sugar, Sriracha and soy sauce to a gentle simmer just until the brown sugar is dissolved. Toss immediately with the almonds and spread on a sheet of parchment paper to cool.

    Happened to have a cup of almonds on hand, and just made these. Holy cow, they are fantastic! Not too spicy (although I love spicy), so they’re suitable for most people, and with a nice heat. You got your spicy/salty/sweet action right HERE. I toasted for 12 minutes, and the almonds could have used another couple of minutes. I microwaved the sauce ingredients in a small bowl for 30 seconds, then added the almonds (skipping the cold plate thing), tossed, and spread out on a parchment sheet as you recommended. Thank you, thank you for this snack recipe, Heather!

    These almonds are utterly delicious. I’ve made them several times, ashamed that I shared only once. Licked my fingers, even! Thank you for this precious gift (I think). 😉

      I’m so glad you like them Karen! I have to do them in small batches or else I WILL eat them all, pretty much fresh out of the oven!

    These were great…just wondering if anyone has a tip on how to keep them from sticking together after they’re cool. Thanks, Gina

    Oh – YUM. First off, you can’t go wrong with Sriracha period. Second, you can’t go wrong with almonds either!

      Agreed – Sriracha rocks but it’s still a super under-used ingredient around my house! Must change!

    I will forever and always be addicted to Friends. It doesn’t matter how many times I watch the same episode. I’m typically not into the sweet AND salty thing, but I think my husband would love these almonds!

      My husband laughs at how often I watch it! I’ll forever be an addict too!
