This robust dry rub is a kitchen essential for adding deep, complex flavors to any grilled or roasted dish. The combination of kosher salt, garlic powder, and dried thyme creates a savory backbone, while paprika and brown sugar add a subtle sweetness and beautiful color. A touch of cayenne pepper provides a gentle heat that lingers without overpowering the natural taste of the meat. This blend works beautifully on pork spareribs, chicken thighs, or even sturdy vegetables like eggplant and peppers. Simply mix the spices and apply generously before cooking for a perfectly seasoned crust every time. It’s an easy, no-cook recipe that stores well, making it a reliable staple for weekend barbecues or quick weeknight dinners. Customize it to your heat preference, but this classic ratio delivers consistent, delicious results.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. In a small bowl, combine the kosher salt, garlic powder, dried thyme, ground black pepper, sugar, paprika, and cayenne pepper.
  2. Whisk or stir thoroughly until the spices are evenly distributed and no large clumps remain.
  3. Transfer the mixture to an airtight jar or container for storage.
  4. To use, generously sprinkle the rub over all sides of your chosen meat or vegetables, pressing gently to adhere.
  5. Let the seasoned food rest at room temperature for at least two hours, or cover and refrigerate overnight for deeper flavor penetration.
  6. Apply a light additional layer of rub just before grilling, broiling, or baking.
  7. Store any unused portion in a cool, dry place; the mixture keeps indefinitely in a tightly capped jar.
