I *think* it started with the Everything Bagel… but then, I was seeing it everywhere…
“Everything Seasoned” crackers, biscuits, and chips. “Everything” chicken and salmon. Heck, even deviled eggs, crab cakes, and popcorn!
“Everything Seasoned” everything…
But I didn’t have any “Everything Seasoning”. And while I’m usually a make-it-myself kind of person, we all find ourselves in “buy-it-because-I-don’t-have-time-to-make-it” seasons.
So, this “Everything Seasoning” phase happening all over Pinterest was going to have to wait until I could find some pre-made Everything Seasoning.
(If you’re new here, I live deep in the woods of NE Minnesota, over 60 miles from the nearest health food store and over 200 miles from the nearest Whole Foods, Costco, and Trader Joe’s. So, finding certain ingredients is… ahem, challenging, sometimes.)
What Is Everything Seasoning?
It’s the crunchy spice/seed mixture on top of Everything Bagels. Duh, you knew that right?
More specifically, it’s a crunchy, salty, garlicky, absolutely delicious seasoning blend of: toasted sesame seeds, poppy seeds, dried garlic, dried onion, and salt.
So, it doesn’t actually have everything… but the way it tastes is ev-er-y-thing. kwim?
And you can pretty much use it to season everything (except I probably wouldn’t put it in sweet stuff). 😉
A Google search will quickly yield numerous “DIY Everything Seasoning recipes”, so I’m not going to copy/add to what already abundantly exists.
Since I happen to be in the “buy-it-because-I-don’t-have-time-to-make-it” stage of life with two busy teenagers, running a full-time business, and our never-ending honey-do list of spring and summer homestead projects, I found some Everything But The Bagel Sesame Seasoning Blend on a rare trip to Trader Joe’s.
Then, it sat in my spice cabinet for months and I forgot about it.
(Alas, I could’ve tried Everything Seasoning sooner had I known I could also buy it on Amazon… Live and learn, right?)
Everything Seasoning Roasted Sweet Potatoes
One evening, my best friend, my husband, and I were sitting around our table discussing what we might like to cook together for dinner that night. As I mentally perused my pantry and fridge, I remembered I had sweet potatoes.
Then, I randomly remembered the Everything Seasoning from the TJ’s trip months before. I dug until I found the seasoning, doused the sweet potatoes with sesame seed oil (I just thought it would complement the sesame seeds in the seasoning blend), and roasted them.
When they were tender, but not crisp, I threw Everything Seasoning all over them, and continued roasting until they got crisp on the edges and corners.
I actually don’t even remember the other dishes we cooked that evening. These Everything Seasoning Roasted Sweet Potatoes were definitely the talk of the table.
Everyone, including my teenagers and my best friend’s 5-year-old daughter, couldn’t believe how freaking tasty they were! These healthy roasted sweet potatoes are an easy side dish for everyone because they’re paleo, vegan, and even Whole30-friendly!
We polished off 2 baking sheets of these addicting Everything Seasoning Roasted Sweet Potatoes. (Too bad we didn’t have any of my Everything Seasoning Cream Cheese Dip on the side! That would’ve been an Everything Explosion!)
And I may have even had the thought, “I don’t think I’ll ever cook sweet potatoes another way again.”

Why can’t you used toasted sesame seed oil?
It has a very strong sesame seed flavor. If you like that sort of thing, go for it.
YUM looks so delicious and love how simple it is, too !
These look incredible! What a great flavor combo, have to try this soon!
This is such a yummy idea! I love everything seasoning so I bet I would love these.
These look SO good! Definitely on my list to make.. after I get some of that seasoning together.. Q: Do you flip the sweet potatoes half-way through the cooking? TIA! YUM!!
Such a great idea!! I love sweet potatoes, and betting the seasoning really sets them off!
Must make. Must make. Must make . . I said so before, but these are really speaking to me 🙂
Ha! Yeah, they’re pretty great!
These look AMAZING!!! I wish I could have sweet potatoes, I miss them, but my family would happily devour these! They’re so pretty too!
