Ingredients

  • 2 Tbsp sesame seeds white or a mix of white and black
  • 2 Tbsp poppy seeds
  • 2 Tbsp dried minced onion or dried onion flakes
  • 2 Tbsp dried minced garlic or garlic flakes
  • 1 Tbsp flaky sea salt such as Maldon or coarse kosher salt (reduce to 2 tsp if you prefer less salty)

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, combine all ingredients: sesame seeds, poppy seeds, dried minced onion, dried minced garlic, and flaky sea salt.
  • Stir well with a spoon until evenly mixed.
  • Transfer to an airtight jar or spice container (a small mason jar works beautifully).
  • Store in a cool, dry place for up to 6 months. Shake or stir before each use to redistribute the ingredients.
  • To Use
  • Sprinkle generously on avocado toast, bagels with cream cheese, hard-boiled eggs, roasted vegetables, hummus, or popcorn.
  • Mix into softened cream cheese or sour cream for an instant dip.
  • Use as a seasoning for homemade crackers, bread dough, or roasted nuts.

Notes

Salt level: Flaky sea salt gives the best texture and crunch, but if you’re sensitive to salt, start with 2 tsp and adjust.
Variations: Add 1 tsp dried onion powder or garlic powder for extra punch, or a pinch of black pepper for subtle heat.
Gluten-free & vegan: Naturally yes!
Storage tip: Keep in a glass jar away from moisture to maintain crispness.
