I whipped up this homemade Everything Bagel Seasoning originally for my Vegan Everything Bagel Brioche Bread and Bacon, Egg, and Cheese Everything Breakfast Casserole. But once I had a jar of it sitting around, I couldn't stop sprinkling it over everything! Its nutty, garlicky goodness adds a delicious crunch to roasted veggies, eggs, avocado toast—you name it!

You might be thinking, "Why bother making my own Everything Bagel Seasoning when I can just grab a jar at Trader Joe’s?" I get it, but here's the deal--- homemade seasoning puts you in the driver's seat when it comes to ratios. You get to customize it just the way you like it!

With just 6 ingredients and a few minutes of prep, you'll have this seasoning ready to go. I often end up making a double batch since I go through it so quickly. And I'll admit, I've been known to sneak a taste straight from the jar sometimes, Haha! If you're a fan like me, you've got to try it on Everything Bagel Cauliflower Bites, Everything Brussels Sprouts + Mozzarella Hand Pies, and Everything Chicken Tomato Grilled Cheese!

How To Make Everything Bagel Seasoning?

This homemade seasoning is a mix of six seeds + spices that just taste amazing together! We're talking toasted sesame seeds (both white and black), poppy seeds, dried onion and garlic flakes, and flaky sea salt. Just give it a mix and toss it into a jar—Voila! You've got it ready anytime you need to jazz up your dishes and snacks with a quick sprinkle!

Ingredients

  • White sesame seeds. I like to toast mine lightly in a pan for a more nutty flavor.
  • Black sesame seeds. An earthy flavor that adds depth + color
  • Poppy seeds. Adds a pop of texture.
  • Garlic powder. You can also use garlic granules or a mix of both.
  • Onion powder. If you want more texture you can use dried onion flakes also.
  • Sea salt. Flaky or chunky sea salt works best here.
