# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It tastes fancy and complicated, but takes less time than your favorite TV episode.
  • The ranch-and-everything combo hits that savory-tangy-seasoned sweet spot that keeps you reaching for more.
02 -
  • Stir halfway through baking or the edges brown while centers stay soft—this one mistake taught me the value of setting a timer.
  • Let it cool completely before storing or residual heat creates steam that makes everything chewy, which defeats the entire purpose.
03 -
  • Don't skip the parchment paper or you'll spend time scraping instead of enjoying your snack.
  • Buy a small container of everything bagel seasoning and keep it on hand—it transforms not just snack mix but roasted vegetables, popcorn, and scrambled eggs.
