FAQs on Homemade Everything Bagel Seasoning
Q. Can I use Onion Powder instead of onion flakes?
A. Unfortunately you can't. The onion powder will sink to the bottom and won't blend in nicely with the seasoning blend. But Fortunately onion flakes can easily be found in stores.
Q. I can't find Garlic flakes in stores Can I use Garlic powder instead?
A. You can't swap out Garlic flakes with garlic powder for the same reason above. It will settle in the bottom. I know Garlic flakes isn't readily available in stores but can be bought online. I bought mine on amazon.
Q. Can I swap Garlic salt for the combination of Garlic flakes and salt in this recipe?
A. That's a no no. It would be way too salty and would sink to the bottom.
Q. Can't find black sesame seeds in store Do I have to use both black and white sesame seeds to make this recipe?
A. You don't have to use both colors of sesame seeds but it is recommended that you do if you want the exact look of the Trader Joe's version. White sesame seeds are more readily available in store. You can buy black sesame seeds online or you can buy this black and white sesame seed blend.
Q. I can't find sea salt flakes, can I swap with regular table salt?
A. Sadly you can't that would be a disaster ? but you can swap the sea salt flakes with coarse salt.
Q. What can I use this everything bagel seasoning for?
A. Like the name says, Everything and Anything you like.
