Notes

The cooking time will depend on the size of the sheet pan you use. A large pan will distribute the mixture thinly across a greater surface area and will require less time than a smaller sheet pan. If you are using a smaller pan, don’t be surprised if you require more than 16 minutes baking time, and continue with the process of removing the pan and stirring every 2–3 minutes until you achieve an even golden colour.

Making ahead

Weigh out all the dry ingredients A and store in an air-tight container.

Food pairings
