Equipment
- Wooden Spoon
- Skillet
- Mixing Bowl
- Blender
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons poppy seeds
- 2 tablespoons dried minced onion not toasted
- 1-2 tablespoons dried minced garlic depending on how garlicky you like your seasoning
- 1 tablespoon white sesame seeds not toasted
- 1 tablespoon black sesame seeds
- 2-3 teaspoons Fleur de sel, flaked sea salt, or kosher salt more or less, to taste, depending on the type of salt you're using
Instructions
- Start by gathering all your ingredients: poppy seeds, dried minced onion, dried minced garlic, white sesame seeds, black sesame seeds, and your choice of salt.
- In a dry skillet, combine the poppy seeds, dried minced onion, white sesame seeds, and black sesame seeds. Turn on the heat to medium. Stir occasionally, allowing the mixture to toast gently. You’ll want to do this for about three to five minutes.
- As the seeds toast, keep an eye on them. The moment you start to smell their fragrant aroma is when they’re close to perfect! You’re looking for a light golden brown color. Just be careful not to let them burn as that can ruin your seasoning.
- Once toasted, immediately transfer the mixture to a bowl to cool. This stops the cooking process, preserving that toasted flavor.
- Once cooled down, stir in the dried minced garlic and your chosen salt. Mix everything together until evenly combined. This is where the flavors come together!
- After mixing, taste your seasoning blend. If you feel it needs more salt, you can always add a pinch more at this stage.
- Finally, transfer your Everything Bagel Seasoning to an airtight container. It’s best stored in a cool, dark place at room temperature.
- This seasoning can last for up to three months if stored properly. However, for the best flavor, try to consume it within a few weeks!
- Now, you’ve successfully made your very own Everything Bagel Seasoning! Feel free to sprinkle it on whatever your heart desires.
