BHA & BHT Free Everything Bagel Seasoning
Making your own spice blend at home is one of the easiest ways to sidestep the preservatives that sneak into so many store-bought seasonings. BHA and BHT are common additives used to extend shelf life in packaged blends, and they show up more often than you'd expect in something as simple as a bagel topping. This recipe keeps things completely clean — just sesame seeds, poppy seeds, dried garlic, dried onion, and flaky sea salt, all stirred together in a bowl. The combination of white and black sesame seeds gives it a beautiful, speckled look that's just as satisfying to look at as it is to eat. Sprinkle it on avocado toast, roasted vegetables, scrambled eggs, or cream cheese and you've instantly elevated the whole meal. It stores in an airtight jar for up to three months, so one quick batch keeps you stocked for a long time. Once you see how simple it is, you'll never reach for the store version again.
