Homemade Everything Bagel Seasoning
This is a homemade recipe for Everything Bagel Seasoning, a crunchy, savoury American seasoning most famously sprinkled on bagels, a recipe for which we also shared today. I’m sharing a homemade version for the seasoning because it’s not always easy to find here in Australia, or they are excessively salty - and it’s so simple to make yourself! Recipe makes 12 teaspoons (4 tablespoons) which is the amount required to top 8 homemade bagels. Use it to sprinkle on breads, eggs, avocado toast, or roast vegetables!
Servings: 4 tbsp
Ingredients
- 4 tsp white sesame seeds
- 2 tsp black sesame seeds
- 1 1/2 tsp poppy seeds
- 1 3/4 tsp onion flakes or granules (Note 1)
- 1 3/4 tsp garlic flakes or granules (Note 1)
- 1 tsp sea salt flakes , or halve for cooking salt / kosher salt (table salt not recommended, too fine)
Instructions
- Mix ingredients together. Store in a very airtight container for 6 to 8 weeks.
- Sprinkle onto bagels or other breads (before baking), or as a finishing salt for "everything", from scrambled eggs to roasted vegetables, avocado toast to hummus!
Notes
1. Garlic and onion flakes are little flakes, not to be confused with powder which is much finer and powdery, too fine for this seasoning. You can get onion flakes at Australia grocery stores (Coles, Woolies, Harris Farms) and garlic flakes at Harris Farms, or both are carried atIndian/sub-continent stores.
Otherwise, substitute garlic with granules which is very nearly as good, which is carried at regular Australia grocery stores.
