Description

This homemade seasoning blend is a kitchen essential for elevating any grilled or roasted dish. Combining the foundational punch of salt and garlic with the smoky sweetness of paprika, it creates a robust flavor profile suitable for seafood, chicken, beef, or pork. The addition of cayenne provides a gentle kick, while dried thyme and oregano introduce aromatic herbal notes that complement charred flavors. Perfect for weekend barbecues or quick weeknight dinners, this mix ensures consistent, restaurant-quality seasoning without the additives found in store-bought bottles. Keep a jar stocked in your pantry for instant flavor enhancement on steaks, shrimp, or vegetables.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Place 1/4 cup of salt into a medium-sized mixing bowl.
  2. Add 1 tablespoon of granulated garlic, 1 tablespoon of freshly ground black pepper, and 1 tablespoon of paprika to the bowl.
  3. Stir in 3/4 teaspoon of granulated onion, 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper, 1/4 teaspoon of dried thyme, and 1/4 teaspoon of dried oregano.
  4. Whisk all ingredients together thoroughly until the spices are evenly distributed and no large clumps remain.
  5. Transfer the finished seasoning blend into an airtight glass jar.
