That iconic blend of seeds, garlic, onion, and flaky salt is one of the most craveable toppings in the kitchen, and making it yourself takes about two minutes flat. Store-bought seasoning blends can be a minefield when you're navigating ingredient sensitivities, since many brands use shared facilities or include additives that aren't always clearly labeled. This homemade version keeps things clean and straightforward — just six simple pantry ingredients, no fillers, no surprises. The combination of white and black sesame seeds with poppy seeds gives it that signature look and nutty crunch, while the dried garlic and onion bring serious savory depth. A pinch of flaky sea salt ties everything together and makes it taste like it came straight from a New York deli counter. Stir it up, jar it, and you've got a versatile seasoning that's ready to go on eggs, avocado toast, roasted vegetables, or anything else that needs a little extra magic.
