  2. Spread onto a large baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. 

Sriracha Peanut Sauce

  1. Mix crunchy peanut butter, low sodium soy sauce, sriracha, garlic and ginger in a bowl together. Add a pinch of red pepper flakes. Use a splash of hot water as needed to thin out the sauce to drizzle it over the bowls.
