    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 . . .

    Jar with spoonful of sage onion spice on top.

    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.

    Homemade Spice Blend - Ingredients

    A simple homemade Sage and Onion seasoning blend that is quick to throw together with ground spices you probably have in the pantry right now. So simple!

    • ground sage - prominent, earthy, woody flavor traditionally used in poultry seasoning, with buttery sausage stuffing/dressing recipes at Christmas or Thanksgiving, and all year long in Mediterranean rubs, buttery garlic pasta sauces, potatoes, and tomato sauces.
    • minced onion/onion flakes - a popular and complimentary flavor pairing with sage. Can sub granulated, but the small pieces of flaked onion are spectacular when baked and crunchy.
    • granulated garlic - dehydrated, ground garlic. Adds potent, concentrated garlic flavor.
    • coriander - dried, crushed seeds of the cilantro plant.
    • dry parsley - the most widely used herb in the world. Adds color and light flavor.
    • salt - coarse ground sea salt/kosher salt, elevates the flavors.
    • pepper - coarse ground black pepper for some heat.
    • sugar - just a pinch to balance the flavors.
    • red pepper flakes - optional for extra heat and color.

    How to Make Sage and Onion Spice Blend

    Just mix the spices all together in a jar and shake well to incorporate.

    Taste and adjust seasonings to your personal preference. It should be savory, slightly sweet, and salty. Enjoy!
