# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • These nuts keep you coming back for just one more handful, which is basically the highest compliment a snack can receive
  • The spice blend hits every note, warming but not overwhelming, and makes your kitchen smell absolutely incredible while they bake
02 -
  • The nuts will continue to crisp up as they cool, so don't worry if they seem slightly soft when you first pull them from the oven
  • Stirring halfway through baking is absolutely crucial or the ones on the bottom will burn while the top stays raw
03 -
  • Buy your spices from the bulk section where turnover is higher, and you'll notice a huge difference in flavor
  • If your nuts seem old or slightly stale, toast them for 5 minutes before adding the spice mixture
