# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It's ready in 35 minutes total, which means you can make it while people are already heading to your place.
  • The combination of textures keeps things interesting—crispy, salty, slightly cheesy, all in one bite.
  • One batch lasts days in an airtight container, so you're basically snacking for free all week.
02 -
  • Don't skip the parchment paper or you'll spend 10 minutes scraping burnt bits off the baking sheet while the snack mix laughs at you from the counter.
  • The halfway stir is everything—I learned this the hard way by ignoring it and ending up with charred edges and pale centers.
  • Make sure your snack mix is completely cool before sealing it away, otherwise the steam will make it chewy within hours.
03 -
  • Toast your own nuts and seeds beforehand if you want to deepen the flavor—five minutes in a dry skillet at medium heat brings out oils and complexity.
  • The everything bagel seasoning can be aggressive if you're not careful; start with slightly less than called for and taste-test before committing to more.
