# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • It turns pantry odds and ends into something people actually fight over at parties.
  • The ranch and everything bagel combo creates a flavor that is both familiar and completely addictive.
  • You can make a huge batch in less time than it takes to run to the store.
  • It stays crunchy for days, so you can keep a jar on the counter and raid it whenever.
02 -
  • Do not skip the halfway stir or the edges will toast faster than the center and you will end up with uneven seasoning.
  • Let it cool completely on the pan before transferring, or the residual heat will steam the mix and ruin the texture.
  • If your butter mixture looks separated, whisk it again right before pouring so the seasonings distribute evenly.
03 -
  • Use parchment paper instead of foil because foil can cause uneven browning and stick to the butter.
  • Measure your seasonings with a light hand at first, then taste a cooled piece and adjust before your next batch.
  • Make a double batch and store half in the freezer so you always have some ready when guests show up unexpectedly.
