Everything Bagel Seasoning

Homemade low-carb, nut-free seasoning

Everything Bagel Seasoning offers the perfect blend of crunchy, salty, and savory. It’s simple to make and is the perfect accompaniment to cream cheese-topped vegetables, poultry, fish, and more!

Trader Joe’s, Amazon, and Costco all offer varieties of Everything Bagel Seasoning, but making your own batch allows you to customize based on your preferences.

For example, I don’t love a lot of poppy seeds, so I use less of those. You can also omit any ingredient you don’t like or are allergic to.

Or, if you don’t have access to purchasing in-store, this recipe allows you to make it at home!

Also, if you are looking for a deeper flavor, toasting all the ingredients lightly adds an extra layer of flavor.
