# Expert Tips:
01 -
- The seasoning creates this incredible umami coating that makes it impossible to eat just one handful
- You can prep everything in ten minutes and let the oven do the rest while you get other party food ready
02 -
- Stirring every 10 minutes is nonnegotiable because the pieces at the edges will burn while the center stays soggy
- The mix seems soft when it first comes out of the oven but crisps up beautifully as it cools down
03 -
- Mix the coating in a glass measuring cup with a spout for easier drizzling
- If your mix seems too wet after coating, add another handful of cereal or crackers to soak up the excess
