1 Measuring Spoons For accurate ingredient measurement
1 Small Mixing Bowl To combine ingredients thoroughly
1 Whisk or Spoon For even mixing
1 Airtight Jar For storage and freshness

Ingredients

Main

2 tablespoons poppy seeds
2 tablespoons sesame seeds
2 tablespoons dried onion flakes
1 tablespoon kosher salt

Instructions

Mix poppy seeds, sesame seeds, dried onion flakes, and kosher salt together in a small jar.

Notes

For optimal flavor, ensure your seeds are fresh and fragrant. While the recipe is simple, a light toast of the sesame and poppy seeds in a dry pan over low heat for 2-3 minutes before mixing can significantly deepen their nutty aroma – allow them to cool completely before combining. Adjust the amount of kosher salt to your preference, noting that it's coarser than table salt. For variations, consider adding garlic flakes or a pinch of black pepper. Store the seasoning in a tightly sealed, airtight jar in a cool, dark pantry to preserve its potency and prevent moisture absorption. This versatile blend is fantastic on avocado toast, eggs, roasted vegetables, or as a crust for fish.
