Everything but the Bagel Seasoning

Sure, you can buy everything bagel seasoning at the store, but making it at home lets you control the flavor exactly how you like it. More garlic? Less salt? Totally up to you. It’s simple, customizable, and once you try it, you may never go back to the jarred stuff. If you’re looking for a fun way to use it, don’t miss my Everything Bagel Cheeseball.

It’s also more affordable to make your own, especially if you grab the ingredients in bulk. We sprinkle this on everything, so I always keep extra ingredients stocked just in case.

What You Will Need For Everything Bagel Seasoning

I like to buy the ingredients at my local grocery store that has a bulk section. I can find everything I need there usually. If you do not have a store that has a bulk section, look for the ingredients in the Asian and spice aisles.

White Sesame Seeds: These are the basic sesame seeds you usually find everywhere.
Black Sesame Seeds: These are sesame seeds with the hulls still intact. They will have a nuttier crunchier texture.
Poppy Seeds: Adds that bit of extra crunch and flavor.
Dried Minced Garlic: Found in the spice aisle, adds incredible flavor.
Dried Minced Onion: Dried onion comes in different sizes, make sure you get minced so that it isn’t too big.
Coarse Sea Salt: You will want the larger coarse salt to go with the seeds and stick to the bagel or anything else you might put it on.

How to Make Homemade Bagel Seasoning

This really could not get any easier. I promise you, you cannot mess this up.

Combine: Place all the ingredients in a bowl and stir till combined

Tips and Variations For the Best Everything Bagel Seasoning

With this recipe being so easy, there isn’t much that go wrong, it can only taste right!

Customize: Love homemade recipes, I can totally customize them to my families liking. If you want lighter on the salt, go for it. Heavier on the salt, you can do that too. If you can’t find black sesame seeds, leave them out. It is just that simple. Make the way you love it!
Salt: You do not want to use table salt for this everything bagel seasoning. It needs to coarse, kosher salt for best results. Large flaked salt will work too.
Add Ins: This is the classic recipe for everything bagel seasoning. It is what you are going to find in the jar you can buy at the store. But since you made it at home, you can add in any other spices or herbs you desire. Add red pepper flakes for a bit of heat. Add some Italian seasoning for a more of an Italian flare , etc. My only advice is to keep whatever you add dried. No fresh herbs. They will go bad in your mix and you will have to throw it out.
Store: Keep your seasoning in a tightly sealed jar or container in a cool dry place. It will keep up to 6 months.
