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’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.
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
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!
Sheet pan dinners are the best! This one is so easy
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 🙂
I use it on avocado toast and hard boiled eggs. It’s so good on veggies hope you give it a try. Happy Monday
I just happen to have some asparagus on hand! Trying this tonight!
Fabulous hope you and the hubs enjoy it!
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.
Yes they just came out with the bigger version that I love and had to have some. Hope you find some too
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!
I’ve loved it on everything I have tried it on so far!
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!
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
Yes to asparagus! One of my favorite vegetables. I love the idea of using everything bagel spice to season it!
One of my favorites as well and the EBS is delish on them
I love that spice! Made sweet potato fries with it last night. I bet it’s great on asparagus!
It’s great on everything I’ve tried it with!
I’ve never tried asparagus, but this recept looks soooo good! I’m definitely gonna try it!
Really!? You have never tried asparagus! You must try it immediately
This is a great way to use the spice! Looks awesome
Thanks so much!
Everything but the bagel is my favorite seasoning blend. I need to use it on more vegetables!
It is great on so many things!
I need this spice in my life!!!
You for sure do! You have no idea what you are missing 🙂
This sounds awesome – if only I cooked more often. But keep the recipes coming.
This one could not be easier!
I put this stuff on everything! Such a great idea to add it to asparagus!
It is so versatile!
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.
I agree! It’s so yummy on almost everything 🙂
Everything spice is one of my cabinet must haves. I love using it for veggies and will definitely need to try asparagus!
Definite game changer!
I had no idea you could buy an everything but the bagel spice, what the heck, I am so excited! Definitely gonna be on my next grocery list!!
Oh it’s life changing!
I love the simplicity of this! I will def have to make my own ‘everything’ blend that is allergy free for me 🙂
Gorgeous asparagus too!
Asparagus season is my favorite! It’s always a reminder that spring is coming…and love the bagel seasoning twist.
Asparagus is always a favorite of mine too. The everything bagel spice is a game changer! Thanks for stopping by
