Ingredients
To make this you’ll need:

- Poppy seeds– You can buy this in the spice or baking aisle in most grocery stores or online HERE.
- Sesame seeds– Both black and white sesame seeds. White sesame seeds are often sold near the spices or baking products or you can buy them online HERE. Black sesame seeds are often in the international foods aisle or you can buy them online HERE.
- Spices– Dried minced garlic, dried minced onion, and coarse salt
How to Make
Making homemade everything bagel seasoning is very easy!

Just whisk all the ingredients together in a small bowl until they are evenly combined.

Use and enjoy right away or store them for later.
Storing
Store this in an airtight container or spice jar in cool, dark place like your pantry for up to 6 months.
To keep it fresh for the longest amount of time, use a clean spoon each time you scoop some out and don’t hold the jar over hot foods to prevent moisture from getting in.

How to Use Homemade Everything Bagel Seasoning
This is for more than sprinkling on bagels.
It’s also delicious on:
- eggs
- avocado toast
- chicken
- steak
- salmon
- Deviled Eggs
- hummus
- cottage cheese
You can also use it to jazz up dips and spreads by stirring it into:
- sour cream
- cream cheese
- butter
- olive oil

Tips and Tricks
- I recommend only making what you think you can use within 6 months. The seasoning will take awhile to go bad but the sesame seeds will lose flavor the longer they sit.
- Adjust this to suit your tastes.
- Coarse salt is a must. This won’t work with regular, fine table salt.
