# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It takes less time to make than it does to open a bag of chips, and somehow tastes better.
  • The shake method coats every piece evenly without any bowls or utensils to wash.
  • Youll feel like youre eating something indulgent, but its just cucumber and spices.
  • Everything bagel seasoning transforms plain vegetables into something you actually crave.
02 -
  • If your cucumber isnt cold, the whole experience falls flat—warm cucumber is sad cucumber.
  • Dont skip the shake step and try to stir it with a spoon, because youll end up with unevenly coated pieces and a mess.
  • Check your everything bagel seasoning label if youre serving this to someone with sesame or gluten allergies, because not all blends are the same.
03 -
  • Shake the jar over the sink the first time in case the lid isnt as tight as you think it is.
  • For a creamier version, add a spoonful of Greek yogurt or tahini before shaking.
  • If youre meal prepping, keep the seasoning separate and shake it fresh each time to preserve the crunch.
