Calories: 2kcal
Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons paprika
- 2 tablespoons onion powder
- 2 tablespoons garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon white pepper
- 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
- 1 tablespoon dried oregano
- 1 tablespoon dried basil
- 2 teaspoons dried thyme
- 2 teaspoons celery seed
Instructions
- Add all of the ingredients to a bowl and stir well to combine.
- Transfer to an airtight container or spice jar and store in a cool, dark place.
Notes
- To tell if your spices are still fresh, rub a pinch between your fingers. If it’s super mild or barely smells like anything, it’s time to replace them before using.
- There is purposefully no salt in this recipe so that you can control the salt content more easily in your dishes.
- Lightly roasting the spices before mixing them together can help to create a more vibrant flavor. You can also activate the spice mix before applying it to a recipe by toasting or blooming it in fat.
- Shake or stir the seasoning before using to redistribute the spices, since finer powders tend to settle over time.
