# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • It uses up all those half-finished snack bags sitting in your cabinet and turns them into something people will actually fight over.
  • The combo of ranch and everything bagel seasoning tastes like the best parts of a bagel shop and a bowl of chips had a baby.
  • You can make it in under 40 minutes and it stays crunchy for days, which means you can actually plan ahead for once.
02 -
  • Don't bake this at a higher temperature to save time, or the butter will burn and the seasonings will taste bitter instead of savory.
  • Stir the mix halfway through baking or the pieces on the edges will get too dark while the center stays pale and under-toasted.
  • Let it cool all the way before sealing it in a container, or trapped steam will make everything go soft and chewy.
03 -
  • Use parchment paper instead of foil so the butter doesn't stick and tear when you try to stir halfway through.
  • Taste the mix before baking and adjust the seasoning if you want it saltier or more garlicky, because it's much harder to fix after it's toasted.
  • Make this the night before a party so the flavors have time to meld and you're not scrambling in the kitchen while guests arrive.
