# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The natural sweetness pairs perfectly with both sweet and savory toppings without any bread guilt
  • You can make a big batch and keep them in the fridge for quick assembly all week long
02 -
  • Slicing thickness really matters: too thin and they fall apart, too thick and they take forever to cook through
  • Letting them cool for a few minutes after roasting helps them firm up slightly so toppings do not make them soggy
03 -
  • Line your baking sheet with parchment for easy cleanup because the natural sugars can caramelize and stick
  • Sprinkle everything bagel seasoning on plain roasted slices for an instant flavor upgrade
