If you haven’t tried everything bagel seasoning yet, you don’t know what you’re missing. I used to buy it at the grocery store, but it’s quick and easy to make a batch at home, plus, it’s much cheaper, and I find it tastes way better. It’s a simple combination of poppy seeds, sesame seeds, minced garlic, and minced onion. That’s all it takes to make this popular seasoning. The prep couldn’t be simpler, but this seasoning packs a bold, savory flavor that tastes anything but simple.

- Double or triple the batch. I usually make a double or triple batch. This seasoning lasts a while and I go through it quickly!
