# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It takes less time to make than it does to find a snack in your pantry.
  • The shake method coats every slice evenly without any mess or fuss.
  • You get that satisfying crunch and bagel flavor without any carbs or guilt.
02 -
  • If you skip drying the cucumber after washing, the seasoning won't stick as well and you'll end up with a puddle at the bottom.
  • Shake hard enough to coat every piece, but don't go so wild that you bruise the cucumber into mush.
03 -
  • Use a wide-mouth jar so the cucumber has room to tumble and get evenly coated.
  • If you like heat, add a pinch of chili flakes or a dash of hot sauce before shaking.
