# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The spices create this perfectly balanced flavor profile thats slightly sweet, smoky, and warmly spiced without being overwhelming
  • Theyre incredibly addictive and somehow manage to feel both indulgent and wholesome at the same time
  • You can make a huge batch in under 30 minutes and they keep for weeks, making them perfect for gifting or always having something delicious on hand
02 -
  • The nuts will still feel slightly soft when you first take them out of the oven, but they crisp up beautifully as they cool, so dont panic or keep baking them
  • I learned the hard way that you really need to stir them halfway through or the ones on the edges will burn while the center stays underdone
  • Store them completely cooled in an airtight container or they will lose that perfect crunch
03 -
  • Use the biggest bowl you own when tossing, smaller bowls lead to spices and nuts flying everywhere
  • The smell when these are baking is incredible, time it so you are home to enjoy it
