Note
Storage: Keep in an airtight container in a cool, dark place to preserve freshness and potency. The blend will keep for up to 6 months.
Equipment Tip: A dedicated coffee mill or spice grinder works best for achieving a fine, consistent texture. If using a blender, ensure it is completely dry to prevent clumping.
Usage Ideas: Sprinkle generously over roasted vegetables, mix into salad dressings, toss with popcorn, or use as a dry rub for tofu, tempeh, or grilled vegetables. It also adds depth to soups and stews.
Ingredient Note: Vege-Sal is a salt-free seasoning blend often containing garlic and onion. If unavailable, you may substitute with additional garlic powder or a small pinch of salt, though this will alter the salt-free nature of the recipe.
Yield: This recipe yields approximately 1 cup of seasoning blend.
