Sage, Onion and Garlic Spice Blend

If you want to infuse some traditional flavors to your vegan holiday cooking, you'll love having this sage, onion, and garlic spice blend in the pantry. It's an easy to make savory blend of traditional Christmas flavors that's delicious in stuffing (dressing), crispy smashed potatoes, baked vegetables, tofu turkey, and so much more!

All you need is a few basic spices, a jar and 5 minutes. Let's get started . . .

Probably the most reached for seasoning blend during holiday cooking, this incredible savory, salty seasoning is the perfect balance of earthy sage, sweet little bits of onion, and pungent garlic.

As a vegan cook, incorporating traditional flavors/seasonings in meatless dishes is a wonderful way to bring familiar flavors and comfort to vegan recipes. You're going to want to sprinkle this seasoning on everything - I know we do!

During the Mushroom Festival, Wicked Healthy made a recipe using a blend of Onion Sage spice (their own label) not available where I live, so I created this blend and our family is obsessed. I hope you enjoy this blend as much as we do; but feel free to make it sweeter, saltier, more savory or add in a pinch of this or that to make it your own.

Creating your own customized spice blends is quick and easy, affordable, and convenient - here's a few more we use all the time: taco seasoning, shawarma spice blend, madras curry blend, southwest spice blend.
