What is Everything Bagel Seasoning?

Ever had an everything bagel? I dream about that delicious, salty. savory, crunchy bagel. Well, Everything Bagel Seasoning is ALL that without the bagel. Which might seem impractical, who wants seasonings with no bagel? ME! As a gluten-free vegan, it’s almost impossible to find bagels I can eat, and they’re almost always plain. So I want to be able to ADD this seasoning to my bagels. And beyond being literally perfect for bagels, this seasoning goes well with SO MANY other things.

Ingredients

  • White sesame seeds: are often included in East Asian cuisines to add extra nutrients and a barely-there crunch.
  • Black sesame seeds (toasted): same deal as the white sesame seeds! These are the ones I like. 
  • Dried onion: opt for minced rather than onion flakes.
  • Dried garlic: an easily storable way to add a delicious garlicky flavor to recipes. Go for minced instead of garlic flakes in this as well.
  • Poppy seeds: a good source of protein and fiber. 
  • Sea salt: a fantastic seasoning that brings out the flavor of whatever it is put on.
