# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It comes together faster than ordering takeout and tastes like you spent all afternoon in the kitchen.
  • Every bite has layers of flavor, salty, tangy, garlicky, crunchy, that keep your hand reaching back into the bowl.
  • You can double or triple the batch without any extra effort, and it actually gets better after sitting for a day.
02 -
  • Stirring halfway through is not optional, the edges will toast faster than the center, and you'll end up with burnt bits if you skip it.
  • Let it cool completely before storing, any trapped heat will make it soggy and ruin that perfect crunch.
03 -
  • Use fresh seasonings, old spices lose their punch and you'll end up with a flat, underwhelming flavor.
  • If you want extra crunch, spread the mix thinner on two baking sheets instead of crowding it onto one.
  • Taste a piece after it cools, if it needs more seasoning, toss the cooled mix with a bit more ranch or everything bagel seasoning and it'll stick just fine.
