I use Trader Joe’s Everything but the Bagel Seasoning on the regular around here! During the historic winter storm here in Texas a few weeks ago, I used the last of mine. TJ’s seasoning ingredients include poppy seeds, white sesame seeds, black sesame seeds, dried garlic, dried onion, and sea salt flakes. Since we were homebound, and I had all of the ingredients, I experimented and made my own version. 

 One of the big advantages of making it yourself is being able to customize the ratios and ingredients. If you don’t like something, you can leave it out. You can use more of one ingredient than another, and you can add an ingredient. I have always found TJ’s version to be on the salty side, so I played with ratios until I had the perfect amount for me. I also added some flax seeds and subbed Redmond coarse sea salt for the sea salt flakes. 

How To Use Everything But The Bagel Seasoning
