As a vegan cook, incorporating traditional flavors/seasonings in meatless dishes is a wonderful way to bring familiar flavors and comfort to vegan recipes. I was inspired by Wicked Healthy's Onion Sage spice (not available here), so I created my own savory sage spice blend. It's the perfect balance of earthy sage, sweet bits of onion, pungent garlic, and a whisper of sweetness.

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.

Sage & Onion Seasoning Ingredients

This simple homemade sage and onion blend is quick to throw together with ground spices you probably have in the pantry right now. Here's what you'll need:

ground sage - prominent, savory flavor traditionally used in poultry seasoning and in buttery sausage stuffing/dressing recipes at Christmas or Thanksgiving.
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

So Easy to Make!

Just mix the spices all together in a jar and shake well to incorporate. Taste and adjust seasonings to your personal taste - make it sweeter, saltier, more savory.
