What is chili crisp?
Your new favorite condiment!
Chili crisp sauces are traditionally made with chili peppers, aromatics, and spices infused in oil for a perfectly crunchy, crispy, tingly, flavorful kick. Chili crisp has roots in Sichuan cuisine, but is universally delicious on any dish.
We developed our olive oil-based recipe over years of feedback from friends, family, and neighbors. When we made the first batch, we didn’t think it would grow up to have its own website, but here we are! Thank you for being part of the Big Spoon fam.

from 118 reviewscrispy, spicy and great flavor. love supporting local norcal products!!!
As an Asian American, I’ve had my fair share of chili crisps. This one stands out from the bunch with a unique combo of fragrant flavors and nice texture with the added peanuts. I’ve literally been putting this on everything!
This chili crunch is so good— maximum crunch, tons of flavor, and tastes very fresh. It was so good I had it at my wedding to serve along side the appetizers! Highly recommend
This is my second order of green gems and we cannot be without it! We love everything we have tried. We use green gems on everything. The flavor is out of this world.
Lovely owners who work hard to bring us their delicious sauces, and the seasonal ones they create are always worth the wait. This sauce is so danged good I'm tempted to put it on just about everything. It especially elevates the scallion pancakes and the various Asian dumplings I love.
Have I been known to have a spoonful right out of the jar? Maybe . . . 🤭
This is my dream crisp: perfectly spiced, tons of crunch, plus a dreamy lemon zip. Heaven. Love it on eggs, fish, or spoon-to-mouth.
Can’t get enough. Everyone of the sauces have been a perfect addition to a meal
Main Squeeze is my favorite seasonal drop from Big Spoon Sauce Co., and their other chili crisps are amazing too. I wait all year for this one. The meyer lemon is so zesty and delicious. Perfect on a breakfast sandwich, salad bowl, and pretty much everything else. I dream of this!
Wrote my letter and I love my Chili Crisp!!
Wow, they really hit the nail on the head with this one. There is so much juicy, zesty, spicy flavor with each spoonful it made me enjoy my meal so much more. Even though I wasn't hungry, I found myself eating more just so I can put more main squeeze on my food.
LOVE! The best chili crisp ever!
This club meets my needs for a rainbow of chili crisp to drizzle on everything I cook. Trust me, it’s the secret to immortality.
I am a chili crisp fanatic. I make my own and I’m pretty dang good at it if I say so myself. Literally nothing compares to magic beans and Loni and Nate’s other creations. Plus, they are a small business run by lovely humans. Color me an addict but I can’t live without magic beans in my kitchen.
I absolutely love putting this chili crisp on my different meals. It’s soooo good and just enhances any food this chili crisp is added to
It goes on EVERYTHING here. 10/10

From the Press Democrat: Occidental couple’s recipe for chili crisp sauce has a devoted fan base
"For those unfamiliar with chili crisp, a few whiffs of Bender frying shallots while Chan pours a complex blend of spices into a large bowl, readying it for a rendezvous with the sizzling-hot shallot oil, will entice you to make Big Spoon Sauce Co.’s acquaintance." -- Jennifer Graue, January 2023
