ℹ️ What is everything bagel seasoning?
I have to applaud the genius who thought of packaging the garlicky topping from an everything bagel. After all, it’s what makes the bagels so delicious and popular!
The everything bagel is thought to have been created in the 1970s or 1980s and has only grown in popularity since.
In recent years, popular grocery chains like Trader Joe’s have begun selling everything bagel seasoning by the bottle. It can be sprinkled on avocado toast, homemade bread, pasta, fish, salads, and more to replicate those same delicious flavors from the classic bagel.
The recipe for everything bagel spice blend can vary, but almost always contains the same 7 ingredients:
- Sesame seeds
- Poppy seeds
- Dried onion
- Dried garlic
- Sunflower seeds
- Salt
- Black pepper
My recipe is a little different, as I’ve added fennel and caraway seeds for more peppery and citrusy flavors.
🛒 Ingredients needed
- Dried minced garlic – Possibly the most delicious, aromatic, and potent flavor in this spice mix. Powdered garlic would also work well.
- Sesame seeds – A mix of white and black seeds add a nice crunch and sweet nuttiness.
- Poppy seeds – For a slight crunch, texture, and to give the mix that true bagel quality.
- Sea salt – A coarse sea salt works best, but you can always use regular table salt if that’s all you have at home.
- Caraway seeds – Known for their distinct bittersweet, peppery, and citrusy flavor.
- Fennel seeds – You won’t find fennel seeds in every everything bagel seasoning recipe but I especially love how they add a slight licorice flavor and herb-iness!
🥄 How to make it
Combine the dried garlic, white sesame seeds, black sesame seeds, poppy seeds, sea salt, caraway seeds, and fennel seeds in a small bowl.
Give the mix a good stir, then store it in an airtight container. It keeps well at room temperature for up to 6 months!
🥯 How to use it
You’ve gotta keep a batch of this garlicky, savory, and slightly sweet spice mix in your cupboard at all times! It adds a pop of flavor and texture to any dish and can be added to everything, from your favorite dips to breakfast staples to homemade bread.
This is what I love to use it on:
- A little on top of whipped feta, homemade hummus, or classic cheese fondue will take your party dips up a notch.
- My everything bagel crusted salmon wouldn’t be as delicious, crunchy, or savory without the seasoning!
- Fold a generous sprinkling into your next batch of easy Guinness bread or homemade dinner rolls.
- It’s even good on pasta! A small sprinkle will make your miso pasta, pumpkin mac and cheese, easy lemon pasta, or broccoli pesto pasta extra savory.
- Everything bagel seasoning and savory breakfast foods are a match made in heaven! I like adding this seasoning to Mexican breakfast tostadas, avocado and kale savory oatmeal, and sous vide egg bites.
