These Vegan Spicy Roasted Nuts are a delicious crunchy snack. They are oil-free and sugar-free, perfect as a sweet, spicy, healthy appetizer or snack.
I don't roast nuts a lot.
Not because I don't like them. But because I like them too much. I eat them soooo quickly. Especially when I add some sweet and spicy flavors like with these nuts. Seriously addictive.

For these Vegan Spicy Roasted Nuts, I used a combination of pecans, almonds, cashews, and pepitas. I wanted the nutritional variety and I also wanted several flavors and textures. You can choose your own favorite nuts (or seeds) to use!
Why I love these Vegan Spicy Roasted Nuts
- Dietary needs - these nuts are oil-free, dairy-free, plant-based, gluten-free, and refined sugar-free
- Perfect snack - make a batch of these sweet and spicy nuts to have a delicious snack to munch on whenever you want a crunchy, sweet treat
- Nutrient-dense - nuts and seeds pack in so many vitamins and minerals, especially Omega-3s and other healthy fats. The dish as a whole is also fairly balanced in terms of carbohydrates, fats, and protein, which will keep you full for longer
Ingredient Notes & Substitutions
- Mixed Nuts: I used pecans, cashews, almonds, and pepitas. Choose your favorite nuts and seeds for your own mix.
- Date or Maple Syrup: you can use either syrup. If your date syrup is very runny you may need to bake the nuts for a few minutes longer. Either way, let the nuts cool completely on the pan to avoid stickiness.
- Sriracha: adjust the spiciness to your preference. You can taste a nut or two before baking and know that the spiciness will decrease slightly in the oven.
- Kosher Salt
- Cinnamon & Cloves: If you aren't a big fan of cinnamon or cloves you can decrease or omit them entirely. Though I highly recommend including them because they add a sweet, rich flavor to the nuts
How to make Vegan Sweet & Spicy Roasted Nuts
Step 1. Preheat the oven to 300°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2. In a medium bowl mix all the ingredients. Stir until all the nuts are evenly coated with sriracha and syrup.
Step 3. Spread the coated nuts on the prepared pan. Bake for 20 minutes, until the nuts are browned.
Step 4. Let the nuts cool completely on the pan. This is what makes sure they stay crunchy. Serve and enjoy!
