# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It uses pantry staples you probably already have, so no special shopping trips required.
  • The everything bagel seasoning adds an addictive crunch that keeps hands reaching back into the bowl.
  • It stays crispy for days in a sealed container, making it perfect for meal prep or gift giving.
  • You can customize the heat and flavor intensity to match your crowd without starting over.
02 -
  • Stirring halfway through baking is non negotiable, I once skipped it and ended up with burnt cashews on the bottom and pale pretzels on top.
  • Let the mix cool completely before sealing it in a container, or the steam will make everything soggy within hours.
  • If your everything bagel seasoning is salt heavy, reduce the ranch powder slightly or use unsalted cashews to keep it balanced.
03 -
  • Toast your cashews for an extra 5 minutes before mixing if you want a deeper, nuttier flavor that stands out.
  • Add the everything bagel seasoning in two stages, half in the butter and half sprinkled on top before baking, for pockets of intense flavor.
  • If the mix seems too salty after tasting, toss in an extra cup of unseasoned pretzels or crackers to dilute it without starting over.
