# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • The seasoning creates this addictive quality that keeps people hovering around the bowl
  • It comes together in ten minutes but tastes like something from a gourmet snack shop
02 -
  • Stirring every 15 minutes is non-negotiable unless you want some pieces burnt and others barely seasoned
  • The mix might feel slightly soft when it first comes out of the oven but it crisps up perfectly as it cools
03 -
  • Let the mix cool completely on the baking sheet—moving it too early can break up the delicate pieces
  • The seasoning tastes even better after it has had time to meld, so feel free to make it a day ahead
