Description: The trick to making the best everything bagel seasoning is to toast the seeds and spices in a skillet! That way, it tastes just like a freshly toasted everything bagel. Recipe yields a little over 1/3 cup (6 tablespoons).

Prep Time: 2

Cook Time: 5

Ingredients

2 tablespoons white sesame seeds
2 tablespoons poppy seeds
1 tablespoon dried minced onion
2 teaspoons dried minced garlic
1 teaspoon kosher salt or ½ teaspoon fine salt
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

In a small skillet, combine the sesame seeds, poppy seeds, dried onion, dried garlic, salt, and red pepper flakes (if using).
Warm over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the spices are fragrant and the sesame seeds are turning barely golden on the edges, about 5 minutes. Keep an eye on the pan, as the seeds can burn if they are not stirred frequently, especially during the last couple of minutes.
Transfer the mix to a small bowl to cool. Store cooled leftover spice blend in an airtight jar at room temperature for up to 1 month (if it starts to taste bitter or off, the toasted seeds have gone bad).
