TJ’s Everything But the Bagel Seasoning Is More Than a Toast Topper

Sometimes a new spice blend enters our culinary lexicon and changes everything. Remember how much everyone flipped over pumpkin spice? Well, the newest player in the game is salty, savory, and can be used in dozens of different ways: Trader Joe’s Everything But the Bagel seasoning. It was even named the Favorite Overall product in the 11th Annual Trader Joe’s Customer Choice Awards this year.

You can make everything bagel seasoning on your own if you don’t have a TJ’s nearby, or stock up on the stuff so you can reach for a bottle every time you think your meal needs an upgrade. The mix of seeds, spices, and salt adds a savory blast of flavor to almost any recipe, from appetizers to breakfast, dinner to snacktime and back again.

Need some inspiration? Here are some of our favorite ways to use up your Trader Joe’s Everything But the Bagel seasoning.
