Trader Joe's Everything but the Leftovers Seasoning

Everything but the Leftovers Seasoning Copycat

A copycat version of Trader Joe's popular Everything but the Leftovers seasoning blend. This savory seasoning hits all the right notes with MSG for umami punch and chicken bouillon to replicate those mystery 'natural flavors' on the original packaging. Use this seasoning on roasted vegetables, popcorn, chicken, potatoes, or anywhere you'd use the Trader Joe's version. Start with about 1 teaspoon per pound of food and adjust to taste.
