Spicy Gochujang Seed Brittle

This Spicy Gochujang Seeded Brittle, inspired by Marie Brennan, is a flavorful twist on a classic crunchy treat, combining a variety of seeds with a touch of heat. The mixture comes together quickly and creates a satisfying balance of sweet, savory and spicy notes. It is an easy recipe that delivers big texture and bold flavor.

As the brittle bakes, the maple syrup caramelizes around the seeds, creating a glossy exterior that hardens as it cools. The gochujang adds depth and warmth without overpowering the natural nuttiness of the seeds. Once cooled, the brittle becomes crisp and beautifully textured.

Each piece offers a mix of sesame, sunflower and pumpkin seeds that brings interest to every bite. The brittle can be enjoyed as a snack, served alongside tea or used as a topping for salads, where it adds a crunchy texture and a hint of spice.
