# Insider Tips:

01 -
  • They disappear faster than you can make them, so consider doubling the batch
  • The seasoning blend works on almost anything from popcorn to roasted nuts
02 -
  • The stirring every 15 minutes is nonnegotiable or you will end up with burned edges and raw centers
  • These need to cool completely before you decide if they are done because they soften right out of the oven
03 -
  • Add lemon zest right at the end for brightness that cuts through the heavy ranch flavor
  • Try this same seasoning blend on roasted nuts for a savory bar snack alternative
