Equipment
- Airtight Storage Container
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp Smoked Paprika
- 1 1/2 tbsp Onion Powder
- 2 tsp Chili Powder
- 2 tsp Garlic Powder
- 2 tsp Cayenne Pepper, (more or less as desired)
- 1 tsp Dried Oregano
- 1 tsp Dried Thyme
- 1 tsp Dried Basil
- 1 tsp Ground Mustard
- 1 tsp Brown Sugar
- 1 tsp Kosher Salt
- 1 tsp Black Pepper
Instructions
- Add all of the spices together in a small glass jar or airtight container and mix together.
Notes
- Use freshly opened spices – Spices lose their potency over time. For a bold, aromatic blend, make sure your paprika, thyme, and garlic powder haven’t been sitting in the back of your cabinet for two years.
- Toast the spices for extra depth (optional): If you want to elevate the flavor even further, lightly toast the spice blend in a dry pan for 1-2 minutes over low heat. Let it cool completely before storing.
- Store it right: Keep your blend in an airtight container in a cool, dark place. Light and heat can degrade flavor. Treat your spice mix like the top-shelf ingredient it is.
- Taste and tweak– Every palate is different. Once you’ve mixed your base blend, rub a little on chicken or fish, sear it, and adjust the mix to suit your flavor preferences.
