Everything Seasoning is an amazingly versatile mixture of toasted sesame seeds, poppy seeds, garlic, onion, and salt. I’m just loving it on roasted vegetables, eggs, and avocado toast!
By now, you’ll know how I like to save time and money by mixing up my own gluten free seasoning blends to use in a number of different ways.
Gluten Free Everything Seasoning is great on roasted vegetables!
Inspiration
This blend was inspired by Trader Joe’s Everything but the Bagel Sesame Seasoning Blend (*affiliate link). Many variations of everything bagel mix now exist. Why am I adding another one? Honestly, I just love it so much that I wanted to have it in my recipe collection. Indeed, I use it for everything but bagels! I was first inspired to make this from a similar recipe in the January issue of House & Home magazine. I’ve simplified it a little by using only white sesame seeds. Unlike some of the other recipes out there, I do toast my sesame seeds. I use garlic powder because it’s a pantry staple for me. If you have dried garlic on hand, use a little more of it.

Everything Seasoning Mix
As with many of my recipes, this Everything Seasoning mix makes more than enough for this recipe. Try it on eggs, stir it into butter, toss it into salad, or add it to hummus. Make it once, and it will save you time on several meals.
Roasting Vegetables
This versatile seasoning is also amazing on roasted vegetables! Just peel and cut up your vegetables into chunks of uniform size. If you’re short on time, cut them a little smaller. One of the secrets to great roasted vegetables is to place your baking sheet into the oven while it’s preheating. Spreading out your veggies onto a hot pan helps them to crisp up nicely. Thanks to fellow Canadian food blogger Elaine at Flavour and Savour for this great tip!
Accompaniment
These roasted vegetables go well with a nice Grilled Beef Steak.

May 21, 2018 at 9:08 pmEverything Bagels are a favourite of mine…and taking all that flavour and adding it to roasted vegetables is just genius! (Plus, I’m always looking for ways to …*ahem* SPICE up my roasted vegetables!
What? Don’t look at me like that…
It was funny! No, it wasn’t forced at all!
Cathy says
May 21, 2018 at 9:45 pmHa, ha! It is the way to cook vegetables!

May 21, 2018 at 11:51 pmWhat a great idea! I LOVE everything seasoning so why wouldn’t it be amazing on roasted veggies? Can’t wait to try this.
Cathy says
May 22, 2018 at 7:11 amThanks, Jean. It makes roasting veggies much simpler than adding a combination of spices and more interesting than not adding any.

May 22, 2018 at 10:15 amHi Cathy, so many seasonings I have to stay away form just now, but this can work – other than the fact that poppy seeds get stuck in my old teeth – so will have to check a mirror before going public – haha.(Mouthwatering photos!) Diane | Kitchen Bliss

May 22, 2018 at 1:29 pmSuch a great idea! I’ve never made homemade Everything Seasoning before. It’s so much easier to make your own though, plus you’ll have more on hand and for less money. I bet this is so yummy on roasted veggies.
