Everything Bagel Seasoning Recipe

This everything bagel seasoning recipe is both nutty and salty and tastes amazing on chaffles, rolls, and so much more!

What Is In Everything Bagel Seasoning 

Some of the ingredients in this seasoning are pretty obvious – but all of them play a very important role in making this an unforgettable spice mix! 

Everything bagel seasoning is a combination of sesame seeds (both black and white), dehydrated garlic and onion, salt flakes, and poppyseed. 

It is important to use the largest form of these spices. For example, use dehydrated onion flakes, not onion powder. This is because you want all of the spices to stand out, not mix into whatever you put it on. 

Best Everything Bagel Seasoning You Can Buy

If you don’t want to make it homemade, you can easily find it in the store. My favorite kind is Trader Joe’s Everything Bagel Seasoning. It has a robust flavor and stands out when you sprinkle it on your food. 

For a more budget-conscious choice, check out McCormick’s Culinary Bagel Seasoning. It has all the same spices in it, but with a slightly different name. 

Wishful Seasoning also has a beautiful and tasty Everything Bagel seasoning. It tastes just as good as the Trader Joe’s jar. 

I have also seen it sold at Costco and Aldi’s. Keep your eyes peeled and snatch up a jar next time you are at the store.  

Simple Everything Bagel Seasoning Recipe 

Making your own seasoning is as easy as measuring, pouring, and mixing! In fact, I’m making it even easier for you I am including the amounts you need to make an entire jar of seasoning or just 4.5 tablespoons. 

I kept it simple, just using spices that are really easy to find in the store. In fact, if you buy them in bulk you can make quite a few jars of it and hand them out as DIY gifts. 

Homemade Everything Bagel Seasoning 

The best thing about making your own everything bagel seasoning is that you can control how it tastes. If you want it to taste saltier, add more salt flakes. If you think it needs more deep tones, add more garlic and onion.

The sesame seeds make it nuttier and add the texture and color that you love. Some people add pepper to their seasoning, but I chose not to.

I didn’t think it needed the pepper because I didn’t want the pepper to overtake the rest of the spices. 

Everything Bagel Topping Ideas 

There are so many different ways you can use this everything bagel seasoning recipe. Here are just a few of my favorite recipes. If you have a favorite idea, please share it in the comments.

Keto Everything Bagel Cheese Chips 

When you are craving something crunchy, make a batch of these cheese crackers. They are fantastically crispy and can easily replace potato chips. The everything bagel seasoning on top actually helps these crackers taste less greasy. With the seasoning on top, they are a popular party food.

This homemade seasoning also tastes delicious as a crunchy coating on chicken breast. You could even make bite-sized chicken nuggets that are covered in this spice mix. You won’t miss dip when they taste so bold. 

Keto Everything Bagels 

Yes, even the classic everything bagel recipe can be low in carbs! You just have to use a type of flour that is naturally low in carbs – my favorite kind is almond flour. These bagels taste amazing with some cream cheese on top and are toasted to perfection. 

Keto Bagel Bites 

How about something smaller, like for a snack or a party? These little everything bagel bites are flaky and soft and bursting with all of those earthy flavors. They are perfectly bite-sized. You can even use these bagel bites as bread and make low-carb sliders. 

How Long Does Homemade Seasoning Last

Did you know that jarred spices and herbs expire? After a certain amount of time, their pungency decreases to the point that they lose almost all their flavor.

When you make your homemade seasoning, put the date they expire on the bottle. Homemade seasoning will last about 3 months after you make it.
