Thanks for joining Sarah and me for Meatless Monday today. We may be starting to see a few signs of spring around here. With the time change yesterday and St. Patrick’s Day this weekend, I felt it appropriate to share a green recipe. Asparagus is always one of my favorite veggies and it’s especially good this time of the year. Wait until you try it with Everything Bagel spice!
Everything Bagel Spiced Asparagus
Perhaps it was the “Luck of the Irish” that I found both the larger, thicker asparagus and some white asparagus this week. I snapped them both right up like I had found hidden gems.
So I have been kind of obsessed with Everything Bagel Spice from Trader Joe’s (also found on amazon) since I first discovered it about 2 years ago. I use it on my Polenta Fries (which you have to try) and more often on avocado toast with hard boiled eggs. In case you have not tried it for yourself yet, Everything Bagel spice tastes just like, well an everything bagel. Go big or go home. It’s a blend of salt, garlic powder, poppy seeds, sesame seeds, and onion.
As the spring produce is just starting to emerge and show up on your grocery shelves, it’s nice to have a few go to simple sides that you can create on a weeknight or any night. I am hoping this Everything Bagel spiced asparagus side becomes one of your favorites as well.
When I say, “simple” I mean simple. Line a baking sheet with foil for easy cleanup. BTW, if you have not discovered quarter sheet pans yet, run out and get a few. I use them almost every day for all kinds of baking needs. Generously coat your asparagus in high quality extra virgin olive oil. Next, sprinkle on that delicious Everything Bagel Spice. Don’t be shy sprinkle away. Bake for 15-20 minutes and you are good to go.
I use the leftover in my frittata the next morning. Delish! Hope you enjoy.

I love my quarter sheet pans as well! So handy. This looks like a great spring side and definitely good in a frittata for leftovers.

The quarter sheet pans are the best! Thanks for linking up with us
Maureen @ Maureen Gets Real says
I’m probably the last person to buy the Everything But The Bagel Seasoning but I’m so obsessed with the 21 Seasoning Salute from TJ’s. This sounds like such a great way to roast veggies so I might have to pick up EBTB seasoning next time I’m at TJ’s.
Deborah Brooks says
I will have to check out the 21 seasoning salute have not tried that one yet. Everything bagel spice is worth a try it’s delish
Coco says
Yum! I haven’t thought to get 1/4 sheet pans. Great idea. Between that and pre-cut parchment paper, sheet pan dinners are a cinch!
Deborah Brooks says
Sheet pan dinners are the best! This one is so easy
Kim G says
Great idea! I use EBTB seasoning on my eggs and I absolutely love it. Never really thought to use it on veggies so thanks for sharing 🙂
Deborah Brooks says
I use it on avocado toast and hard boiled eggs. It’s so good on veggies hope you give it a try. Happy Monday
Debbie Woodruff says
I just happen to have some asparagus on hand! Trying this tonight!
Deborah Brooks says
Fabulous hope you and the hubs enjoy it!
Sarah says
Simply delicious! The asparagus looked so perfect and tender the other day when I was at the store but after 20 minutes of someone trying to figure out how much it was I ended up leaving the store bummed. They had just got it in and it was in a big center display and not marked and not ringing up. Will have to have my husband pick some up this week.
Deborah Brooks says
Yes they just came out with the bigger version that I love and had to have some. Hope you find some too
Chaitali says
I love the everything but the bagel spice blend! I’ve been using it on everything too. We just had some sauteed zucchini as a side yesterday and put this seasoning on it. It made the veggies seem much more interesting!
Deborah Brooks says
I’ve loved it on everything I have tried it on so far!
Kimberly Hatting says
White asparagus? I don’t think I’ve seen that, but it sounds good (if it’s anything like the green version). I got to find that Everything Bagel seasoning!
Deborah Brooks says
You need to find the everything bagel spice asap it’s so good on so many things! The white asparagus is hard to find but yes it tastes the same. Have a great week
Sandra D Laflamme says
Yes to asparagus! One of my favorite vegetables. I love the idea of using everything bagel spice to season it!
Deborah Brooks says
One of my favorites as well and the EBS is delish on them
Nicole @ Fitful Focus says
I love that spice! Made sweet potato fries with it last night. I bet it’s great on asparagus!
Deborah Brooks says
It’s great on everything I’ve tried it with!
Kat says
I’ve never tried asparagus, but this recept looks soooo good! I’m definitely gonna try it!
Deborah Brooks says
Really!? You have never tried asparagus! You must try it immediately

I put this stuff on everything! Such a great idea to add it to asparagus!
Deborah Brooks says
It is so versatile!
Jenn says
Brilliant idea! That Everything But the Bagel seasoning is seriously one of the most versatile things in my spice cabinet. Little man LOVES it on eggs and avocado toast, and sometimes, it’s just great to add a little pizzazz to something that needs a boost.
Deborah Brooks says
I agree! It’s so yummy on almost everything 🙂
Becca | Rabbit Food Runner says
Everything spice is one of my cabinet must haves. I love using it for veggies and will definitely need to try asparagus!
