With such vague rules, this recipe has, surprisingly, fallen into a pretty standard mold. Sesame seeds, poppy seeds, onion, garlic, and big flaky pieces of salt. This simple mixture of flavors has become a favorite!
It’s been such a consistent favorite, Trader Joe’s started the fabulous trend of “everything bagel seasoning”. This simple and genius idea blew up and could be found in everyone’s pantry! So, why not learn how to make it yourself? You probably have these ingredients begging to be used up before they stale. Give them a purpose as glorious as this!
Ingredients
- Seeds – White sesame seeds, black sesame seeds, and poppy seeds. If you have some in your pantry, make sure to give them a smell first to make sure they aren’t stale.
- Onion & garlic – Find the minced and dehydrated pieces- not powder.
- Salt – Flaky sea salt or course salt.
How to make everything bagel seasoning
- Add all the ingredients to a bowl and mix until well combined. Transfer to a jar and store.
The ingredients may start to separate themselves a bit since this is a flavoring made with bigger pieces. Give it a quick stir every time before you use it.
How to make roasted everything bagel seasoning
- Add the sesame seeds and poppy seeds to a skillet over medium heat.
- Keep the seeds moving constantly, either by stirring or shaking the skillet, until the white sesame seeds turn golden brown.
- Remove the seeds from the skillet and let them cool down in a bowl or on a plate. Mix in the rest of the ingredients and store.

How to make dehydrated minced garlic
We’ve all seen dehydrated onion in the store, but what about garlic? This is the one ingredient in the recipe that can be difficult to find. You know what’s abundant no matter where you are? Fresh garlic! So, where there’s a problem, there’s a solution.
- Mince the garlic and spread in a thin, even layer over a tray in your dehydrator.
- Set the temperature to 140F or 70C. Dehydrate for 8-10 hours, or until the garlic is crisped and completely dried out.
You can follow these steps in your oven if the temperature is able to be set as low as 140F.
Storage
Make sure to store this blend in a jar with a twist-to-seal lid. The seeds tend to stale if exposed to air, so we want to make sure your delicious seasoning is airtight. Store in a cool, dark place such as your pantry or spice drawer.
Since we’re dealing with seeds rather than just spices, this seasoning will last you 6-12 months. It won’t go bad, necessarily, it will just become stale.
Make sure the jar you’re storing the seasoning in has completely dried if you’ve recently washed it. You can leave it upside down in your drying rack for a good 20 minutes to be extra cautious.
