5-Minute Everything Bagel Seasoning Blend
This easy homemade everything bagel seasoning blend takes less than 5-minutes to make. All you need are sesame and poppy seeds and dried, minced garlic and onion. It stores well for a long time and is so good on bagels, pretzels, eggs, avocado toast, and so much more. Unlike store-bought everything bagel seasoning, this one is salt-free so that you can add salt as needed!
Ingredients
- ¼ cup sesame seeds (can replace up to half with black sesame seeds)
- ¼ cup poppy seeds
- ⅛ cup dried minced garlic (or garlic flakes)
- ⅛ cup dried minced onion (or onion flakes)
Instructions
- Combine sesame seeds, poppy seeds, dried garlic, and dried onion in a bowl or jar. Stir or shake well to combine.
- Store in an airtight container for up to 6 months. When using, add salt as needed based on the recipe.
RECIPE NOTES
- To taste and adjust your homemade everything bagel seasoning, sprinkle some on a cracker spread with cream cheese or butter. This will help you decide if it needs more of any ingredient or what type of salt to include!
- Stir well before use — poppy seeds tend to settle in the middle or bottom of the jar, it can be hard to get even distribution by shaking it.
- You can replace up to half of the sesame seeds with black sesame seeds, or all of the sesame seeds with a tri-color sesame seed blend.
- Store homemade everything bagel seasoning in an airtight jar or container. It will stay good for at least 6 months when stored properly. Sesame seeds have oils in them that can go rancid and smell bad when not stored properly. While your DIY everything bagel blend can last longer than 6 months, after 6 months you may notice the quality and taste of the ingredients beginning to degrade. Always give your everything bagel blend a sniff test before use if you're not sure!
