EVERYTHING BAGEL SEASONING

Ingredients

To make about 3 Tablespoons:

  • 2 teaspoons white sesame seeds
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons dried minced onion
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons dried minced garlic
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons black sesame seeds
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt flakes (Maldon recommended)
  • 1/2 teaspoon poppy seeds

To make about 3/4 cup:

  • 2 Tablespoons + 2 teaspoons white sesame seeds
  • 2 Tablespoons dried minced onion
  • 2 Tablespoons dried minced garlic
  • 2 Tablespoons black sesame seeds
  • 4 teaspoons sea salt flakes
  • 2 teaspoons poppy seeds

To make about 3 cups

  • 1/2 cup + 3 Tablespoons white sesame seeds
  • 1/2 cup dried minced onion
  • 1/2 cup dried minced garlic
  • 1/2 cup black sesame seeds
  • 5 Tablespoons + 1 teaspoon sea salt flakes
  • 2 Tablespoons + 2 teaspoons poppy seeds

Instructions

Combine everything thoroughly and store in an air-tight container at room temperature. Sprinkle on hard-boiled eggs, avocados, over salads, or anything else you wish!

Notes

  1. Don't make any ingredient substitutions that will change the texture of the ingredient -- like using granulated garlic instead of dried minced garlic. If the components aren't the same size and texture the mixture won't stay blended well and the taste will be off.
  2. I used toasted sesame seeds which gave the blend a slightly more pronounced sesame flavor. You can use either toasted or untoasted.
  3. If you don't want to buy black sesame seeds, you can substitute white sesame seeds and the flavor will be about the same.
