Trader Joe's is here is shake up your spice game with the debut of its new Crunchy Chili Onion Sprinkle Seasoning Blend.
Chili crunch has been steadily growing in popularity in North America and now there's a tasty new way to enjoy the spicy condiment. Trader Joe's new Crunchy Chili Onion Sprinkle Seasoning Blend takes the same spice base as the brand's Crunchy Chili Onion product – onion, garlic, dried bell peppers, and chili pepper flakes – and then adds both brown sugar and dried Szechuan pepper flakes to create the ultimate seasoning blend. Expect to find a savory-spicy flavor profile paired with a crispy-crunchy texture, and a touch of tongue-tingling sensation from the addition of the Szechuan peppers.
