If you’ve ever wished your food had that little extra something, this crunchy, garlicky, nutty magic – this is the answer. Inspired by the iconic everything bagel topping, this homemade blend is an absolute game-changer. Sprinkle it on avo toast, eggs, cottage cheese, or even a basic buttered bread slice – it instantly upgrades anything. And the best part? You can whip it up in minutes with pantry staples.
This seasoning is the ultimate finishing touch for pretty much everything. Stir it into cream cheese for an instant dip, sprinkle it over popcorn for a salty-savory snack, or coat roasted veggies in olive oil and this mix before baking for an unreal crunch. It’s also a next-level game-changer for grilled cheese, scrambled eggs, and even fried rice.
Keep your seasoning blend fresh by storing it in an airtight jar in a cool, dry spot. It stays crunchy and flavorful for up to six months (if you don’t use it all before then). A quick shake before each use keeps the flavors evenly distributed.

Golden, crispy, and packed with bold flavors!! These herby chickpea bites are everything you want in a falafel, minus the frying. They’re light but satisfyingly crunchy, loaded with garlic, cumin, and fresh herbs for that perfect balance of flavor. Whether you stuff them in a warm pita, toss them over a fresh salad, or dip them in creamy tahini sauce, they’re the kind of meal that feels both nourishing and indulgent. And the best part? They’re baked, not fried, so you get all the crunch without the extra oil.
These little crispy gems are beyond versatile! Tuck them into warm pita with fresh veggies and a drizzle of tahini for a classic falafel wrap. Throw them over a big salad with cucumbers, tomatoes, and a lemony dressing for a light but filling meal. Or just dunk them straight into hummus (no judgment here). Want to level it up? Pair them with roasted veggies, herby yogurt sauce, or even a spicy harissa dip.
Got leftovers? Pop them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat them in the oven or air fryer at 180°C (350°F) for about 5 minutes to keep that crispy magic alive. For long-term storage, freeze them on a baking sheet before transferring them to a bag – just bake straight from frozen when you’re ready!

Not every recipe turns out as expected, but sometimes the result is even better! This Chocolate Mint Oil was supposed to capture both chocolate and mint flavors, but only the fresh, vibrant mint transferred – and honestly? It’s absolutely delicious. The cocoa nibs didn’t quite make the impact I hoped for, but the minty finish is so versatile and refreshing. Perfect for sweet and savory dishes, this oil still deserves a spot in your kitchen.
Drizzle this minty oil over fresh salads for a herby twist or use it to finish a dessert like brownies, ice cream, or fruit salads. It also works as a light drizzle over roasted vegetables, adding a subtle mint freshness to balance the flavors. For an unexpected yet delicious pairing, try it with lamb or feta cheese for a Mediterranean-inspired vibe. Versatile and fresh, it’s a little experiment gone right. For an extravagant dessert with a wow factor, you absolutely have to try this oil on my Vanilla Parfait with Chocolate Soil!
Store this infused oil in a clean, airtight bottle in the fridge for up to one week.
