Everything Bagel Seasoning is a Must-Have in Your Pantry! 🛒
I’m sure you’ve seen the craze over Everything Bagel Seasoning in recent years, and for good reason! This savoury, nutty, garlicky, and slightly salty blend has become a superstar on more than just bagels. It’s like the ultimate umami bomb 💣—perfect for adding texture and flavour to nearly any dish.
But why settle for store-bought when you can whip up a fresh batch at home in just a few minutes? Plus, making it yourself means you can tweak the ingredients and customise it exactly to your taste! 💁♀️
Tips & Tricks for the Best Everything Bagel Seasoning ✨
- Fresh is Best: Whenever possible, use fresh spices and seeds. It really makes a difference in the flavour punch! Toasting your sesame seeds lightly before mixing will bring out even more nuttiness. 🤤
- Flaky Salt vs. Regular Salt: Flaky sea salt is key here. It adds that perfect crunch and melts beautifully into warm dishes. If you only have regular salt, try using kosher salt as a substitute—but if you can, grab the flaky stuff. It’s worth it!
- Customise It: Feel free to adjust the ingredients to match your preferences. Want it spicier? Add a pinch of chilli flakes. Prefer a bit more garlic? Throw in extra garlic flakes. You get to call the shots!
- Storage: Store your Everything Bagel Seasoning in an airtight container, and it’ll last you a good month—if you don’t use it all by then! Keep it in a cool, dark spot to maintain the flavours.
How to Use Your Everything Bagel Seasoning (Hint: It’s Not Just for Bagels! 😉)
This seasoning is so much more than just a bagel topper. Here are some fun ways I love to use it:
- Avo-toast: Spread mashed avocado on toast, sprinkle a generous amount of Everything Bagel Seasoning, and you’ve got yourself a cafe-worthy brekkie. 🥑🍞
- Roast Veggies: Toss your favourite veggies (think broccoli, cauliflower, or even sweet potatoes) in olive oil and sprinkle the seasoning before roasting for extra crunch and flavour.
- Eggs: Whether you’re scrambling, poaching, or frying, a dash of Everything Bagel Seasoning adds amazing texture and flavour to your morning eggs.🍳
- Popcorn: Sprinkle it over freshly popped popcorn for a savoury snack that’ll have you hooked. Perfect for movie night!
- Grilled Chicken or Fish: Coat your protein of choice in a bit of olive oil and sprinkle the seasoning on top before grilling. It adds a delightful crust and depth of flavour. 🍗🎣
Serving Suggestions for Everything Bagel Seasoning 🍽️
This mix is super versatile, and it pairs well with almost any meal. Here’s how I love to serve it:

- Lunch: I love adding it to salads, especially a good cucumber or tomato salad. Just a sprinkle, and boom—instant flavour explosion. You can also add it to homemade hummus or dips for an extra layer of yum.

Absolutely! If you’re watching your sodium intake, you can skip the salt or use a low-sodium alternative. It’ll still be flavour-packed, thanks to the garlic, onion, and seeds. 💡
Stored properly in an airtight container, it should last up to a month. But honestly, once you start using it, it probably won’t stick around that long! 😉
While this blend is definitely savoury, you can experiment! For example, I’ve sprinkled it on a plain bagel with cream cheese and honey for that sweet-salty combo, and it’s a winner. 🍯
