Description
Everything bagel seasoning is a mix of seeds, and spices, that is most known to go on bagels. This versatile seasoning blend can go on so much more than just bagels. Try it on popcorn, eggs, avocado toast, and more.
Ingredients
- 4 teaspoons roasted white sesame seeds
- 4 teaspoons roasted black sesame seeds (see notes)
- 4 teaspoons poppy seeds
- optional: 4 teaspoons caraway seeds (see notes)
- 2 teaspoons minced, dried garlic
- 2 teaspoons minced, dried onion
- 2 teaspoons maldon sea salt (see notes)
Instructions
- Mix: Add all ingredients to a small jar, or bowl, shake or mix the spices together until well combined.
- To use: Use to season the outside of my Greek yogurt bagels, crackers, or other similar homemade, baked goods. You can also sprinkle it onto avocado toast, popcorn, baked potatoes, eggs, roasted vegetables, hummus, or whatever savory thing you want to add extra flavor to. You could also sprinkle it onto fish before cooking. The possibilities are endless.
- To store: Store the everything bagel seasoning in an air-tight jar, or container. Store at room temp for up to 6 months. The seasoning won’t go bad, but it can lose it’s flavor over time.
Notes
roasted sesame seeds: you can buy your sesame seeds already roasted, this is what I recommend getting. You don’t really want ones that are raw, they don’t taste very flavorful.
black sesame seeds: if you can’t find black sesame seeds, than replace them with more white sesame seeds.
caraway seeds: Caraway seeds aren’t seen in most everything bagel seasoning blends (store-bought, or homemade recipes), but I found that I really love the extra flavor it added to my bagels. It reminds me of eating rye bread. If you’re not a fan of caraway seeds, feel free to leave them out, or reduce the amount. Keep in mind that the caraway seeds are a little tough before they are toasted, so if you’re adding the caraway seeds to raw things (such as avocado toast), you might want to either omit the caraway seeds, or toast them for real quick before making your everything bagel seasoning blend.
How to toast the caraway seeds: Add the caraway seeds to a small, dry skillet and toast on medium heat, just until they begin to become fragrant (about 3 to 5 minutes) – stir frequently. Be careful not to burn them. Once toasted, remove them from the pan, and allow them to cool completely before adding them to your everything bagel seasoning mix.
maldon sea salt: I highly recommend using maldon sea salt (or another chunky, flaky finishing sea salt) in your seasoning blend. The salt crystals are very chunky, and not very salty. This gives the seasoning just enough saltiness without overpowering whatever you’re topping the seasoning with. Keep in mind, this is a finishing salt, so it will last you a long time. It’s what I use whenever I want to add a touch of salt to cookies, or other desserts.
