# Expert Advice:
01 -
- The seasoning blend hits that perfect sweet spot between salty and smoky without overwhelming the crunch
- It makes enough to feed a crowd but keeps so well you will find yourself eating it straight from the container for days
02 -
- The low oven temperature might feel unnecessary but it dries everything out gently without burning the spices
- Stirring every 15 minutes is non negotiable unless you want some pieces burnt while others stay soggy
03 -
- Use your hands when tossing the seasoning with the dry ingredients to feel exactly where coverage is thin
- Let the mix cool completely before tasting because the spices need time to mellow and settle
