The blend of toasted white and black sesame seeds in this bagel seasoning provides nutty richness, while poppy seeds offer a satisfying crunch.

Dried minced onion and garlic infuse savory depth, and coarse sea salt ties it all together, creating a medley of flavors that taste just like an everything bagel.

You’ll need:

• 3 tablespoons of white sesame seeds, lightly toasted
• 3 tablespoons of black sesame seeds, lightly toasted
• 2 tablespoons of poppy seeds
• 2 tablespoons of dried minced onion
• 2 tablespoons of dried minced garlic
• 2 tablespoons of coarse sea salt

Substitutions And Additions

SALT: You can use sea salt flakes in place of coarse sea salt if that is what you prefer.

You can also substitute coarse kosher salt for coarse sea salt if you cannot find it in your local grocery stores.

How To Make This Everything Bagel Seasoning Recipe

Toasting the sesame seeds brings out their nutty flavor. Once this step is finished, you will mix all of the seasonings together to create this flavorful spice blend.

STEP ONE: In a small, dry (no added oil) skillet, on medium-low heat, add the white and black sesame seeds.

While constantly moving the seeds around, toast the seeds for 1 to 2 minutes, being careful not to burn them.

STEP TWO: Add the toasted sesame seeds to a small bowl.

STEP THREE: Add the poppy seeds, dried onion, dried garlic, and salt to the bowl with the sesame seeds.

STEP FOUR: Mix the ingredients together.

STEP FIVE: Transfer the seasoning blend to a small mason jar with a tight-fitting lid.

How To Serve

Of course, our homemade bagels are perfect for adding this everything but the bagel seasoning.

A batch of these easy bagels are amazing fresh for breakfast with cream cheese, raspberry, or strawberry jam or this tasty seasoning.

But there is no reason to stop at bagels. Some great ways to use this seasoning blend are on top of avocado toast or hard-boiled eggs, or as a topping on homemade bread and homemade soft pretzels. 

What about a completely different way to use this yummy spice. Our everything bagel pasta is just the recipe for you!

A sprinkle on a salad or on top of popcorn takes them to the next level. Roasted vegetables, sweet potatoes, and baked potatoes taste superb with a dash of this homemade seasoning as well.

Adding a sprinkle to the edge of your pizza dough is heavenly.

The sky really is the limit for the best everything bagel seasoning!

Our taco seasoning and ranch seasoning are two more ways to add plenty of flavor.

Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• 3 tablespoons white sesame seeds, lightly toasted
• 3 tablespoons black sesame seeds, lightly toasted
• 2 tablespoons poppy seeds
• 2 tablespoons onion, dried minced
• 2 tablespoons garlic, dried minced
• 2 tablespoons coarse sea salt

Instructions

 

• In a small, dry (no added oil) skillet, on medium-low heat, add the white and black sesame seeds. While constantly moving the seeds around, toast the seeds for 1 to 2 minutes being careful not to burn them.
• Add the toasted sesame seeds to a small bowl.
• Add the poppy seeds, onion, garlic, and sea salt to the bowl with the sesame seeds. Mix well.
• Transfer the seasoning blend to a jar with a tight fitting lid.

Notes

• You can skip the toasting of your sesame seeds if you want. Toasting the seeds adds a great flavor but can be omitted and the seasoning blend will still be tasty.
• You can use a 2 cup glass measure cup with a pour spout to mix this seasoning blend in. This makes it easier to pour into your storage container (½ pint mason jar) after you mix the spices together. 
• You can substitute coarse kosher salt for the coarse sea salt if you are unable to find the sea salt in your local grocer.
