Pro tips:

  • Garlic nor onion salt should not be used – they would make this seasoning very salty. That being said, it is an option and if you don’t mind experimenting, you could try.
  • For best results use sea salt flakes. Alternatively, a coarse salt can also be used, but you will need to use slightly less.
  • Reduce/control sodium intake: You could also omit salt completely from the seasoning blend and use it only in your foods. It’s perfect for those who are on a low-sodium diet.
  • Black sesame seeds might be hard to source for some. I recommend checking Amazon, Indian, Asian or health food stores. You can try substituting them with white sesame seeds instead.
  • Add chia seeds as an add-on or instead of poppy seeds!

Storage:

Homemade everything bagel seasoning should be stored in an airtight spice jar or container (ziploc bag will also work) in a dry and dark place like a cupboard or pantry.

If you live in a humid area, the flakes (especially onion) will soften and stick together. Simply shake the jar or mix with a spoon before using it.

It’s also better to make it in smaller rather than large quantities to keep everything bagel seasoning as “fresh” as possible as poppy seeds can go rancid if stored improperly or if old.

Everything bagel seasoning mix

Making homemade seasoning blends from scratch is simple and only takes minutes. If you would like to mix up more seasonings at home but need some inspiration, here are a few recipe ideas for you:

Poultry Seasoning – amazing blend not only for turkey, chicken and duck, but also lamb or pork.

Fish Seasoning – We love using this on any white fish.

Italian Seasoning – The perfect mixture of herbs for chicken or anything you like.

Fajita Seasoning – This is just the perfect mixture so we don’t buy the store-bought blend anymore.

    I highly prefer to make my own seasoning blends, and I’d been trying out different bagel seasoning blends! This was so good and the closest to “out of the jar” flavor I’ve tried!5 stars
