What is Trader Joe's Everything but the Bagel Sesame Seasoning Blend?

I bought the wildly popular "Everything but the Bagel Sesame Seasoning Blend" at Trader Joe's when it first came out. I use it on just about everything from vegetables to stir-fries. The seasoning is a mixture of sesame seeds, sea salt, dried garlic and onion, and poppy seeds.

Many other stores and brands make a similar blend - McCormick, Simply Organic, Einstein Brothers, Aldi, Costco, & Wal-Mart for example. You can buy it just about anywhere. It is a low-cost ingredient with big rewards.

How to Oven Roast Green Beans

It only takes 5 minutes to prep & 20 minutes to cook this quick recipe. Here are the step-by-step easy instructions for making this oven-roasted green bean recipe.

Prep the green beans
Mix with other ingredients
Roast in the oven

Prep the Green Beans

Begin by preheating the oven to 425°. While it preheats, prep the green beans. First, wash and dry your green beans. You do not want the green beans to be too wet or the other ingredients will not stick.

Next, trim & cut the green beans. I typically cut them to make them uniform in size. This is so the green beans (haricot verts) cook evenly when roasting them in the oven. Often times if they are very long, I will cut them in half so they are more bite-sized & easier to eat.

Trim and cut the green beans on a cutting board.

Mix Ingredients

Place green beans on a baking sheet and toss with sesame oil. Sprinkle the seasoning blend on top and toss so they are coated evenly.

How Long to Cook Green Beans in the Oven

Roasting green beans in the oven is an easy way to cook them so they are tender on the inside & a bit crispy on the outside. It does not take long to cook them in the oven.

I like to do them on a high heat so that they get a bit charred & blistered. This adds flavor & texture that is so good. And it takes less than 30 minutes.

Roast the Green Beans at 425°

Place the green beans in the preheated oven. Bake for 20 minutes at 425°. When they are done, toss a bit more to evenly distribute the seasoning before serving.

Transfer to a serving platter or individual plates. They will taste gourmet & make any meal a special occasion. Enjoy.

FAQ

Here are answers to some common questions. I hope you find what you need but if not, you are always welcome to send me a comment and I will get back to you.

Can I use canned or frozen green beans?

This recipe is best when using fresh green beans. However, if they are not in season or you want a substitute you can use frozen or canned.

If using canned green beans, I recommend only cooking these for 5 minutes in the oven. If using frozen, I recommend defrosting them first to remove any moisture that may occur. Then cook in the oven for 5 minutes.

Can I add potatoes or carrots to roasted green beans?

Adding more ingredients will work for this recipe. I recommend cutting the carrots and potatoes very small so they cook at the same rate as the green beans. Add additional oil and seasoning as needed.

Can I make these in the air fryer?

If you love crispy green beans, you will love these air-fried. Try my recipe for Air Fryer Green Beans - simply substitute the seasoning blend for the Everything Bagel seasoning instead.
