6. Roast in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, flipping them halfway through with a spatula to ensure even browning.
7. Check for doneness by piercing a sprout with a fork—it should be tender inside and crispy on the edges.
8. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the sprouts cool for 2–3 minutes before serving to let the flavors settle.
You’ll love the contrast of the crispy, caramelized outer leaves with the tender centers, all coated in that sweet-heat sriracha glaze. Try serving them over a bed of quinoa for a hearty meal or alongside grilled chicken for a complete dinner—they’re so addictive, you might just skip the main course!
Sriracha Peanut Butter Sandwich
A Sriracha peanut butter sandwich might sound wild, but trust me, it’s the perfect mash-up of spicy, creamy, and totally craveable. You just need a few pantry staples to whip up this quick lunch or snack that’s way more exciting than your usual PB&J. It’s seriously addictive once you try it.
Serving: 1 | Pre Time: 5 minutes | Cooking Time: 0 minutes
Ingredients
– Bread – 2 slices
– Creamy peanut butter – 2 tbsp
– Sriracha – 1 tsp
– Honey – ½ tsp
– Butter – 1 tsp
Instructions
1. Place two slices of bread on a clean cutting board.
2. Spread 1 tablespoon of creamy peanut butter evenly onto one side of each bread slice.
3. Drizzle ½ teaspoon of Sriracha directly over the peanut butter on one slice.
4. Drizzle ½ teaspoon of honey directly over the peanut butter on the other slice.
5. Press the two slices together firmly, peanut butter sides facing inward, to form a sandwich.
6. Spread 1 teaspoon of butter evenly over the outer side of one bread slice.
7. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat for 2 minutes until warm.
8. Place the sandwich in the skillet, buttered-side down.
9. Spread the remaining 1 teaspoon of butter evenly over the top outer bread slice while the bottom cooks.
10. Cook for 2–3 minutes until the bottom is golden brown and crispy.
11. Carefully flip the sandwich using a spatula.
12. Cook for another 2–3 minutes until the second side is golden brown and crispy.
13. Transfer the sandwich to a plate and let it cool for 1 minute before slicing.
My favorite part is that first bite where the warm, crispy bread gives way to the gooey, spicy-sweet filling. The Sriracha adds a slow-building heat that perfectly balances the rich peanut butter and honey. Try serving it with a cold glass of milk or slicing it into strips for dipping into extra Sriracha if you really want to turn up the heat.
