All Purpose Seasoning
All-Purpose Seasoning is the kind of pantry staple that makes everyday cooking so much easier! This incredible homemade spice blend combines salt, pepper, garlic, onion, red pepper, cumin, parsley, basil, and more into one colorful, flavor-packed mix that works on absolutely everything.
This extremely useful seasoning has become an absolute essential in my kitchen. I literally reach for it every single day, which is why I make a big batch.
Using it as seasoning for chicken, roasting vegetables, or adding flavor to potatoes, is just a few of my favorite ways to use it.
What makes this recipe so practical is how it easy it is to throw together and it saves you so much time and effort in the long run. Instead of reaching for multiple spice jars every time you cook, you just grab this one reliable blend and you’re good to go!
And I love that I know exactly what’s going into my food, don’t you? No one wants weird preservatives or mystery ingredients. Just pure, quality spices that taste great.
Store it in a sealed jar and watch how quickly it becomes your most-used seasoning for everything from grilled chicken and roasted vegetables to seasoned fries and breakfast potatoes.
This seasoning is perfect along with a few of my other homemade spice mixes like my chicken taco seasoning, mulling spices, and pizza seasoning. Because once you start making your own spice blends, you’ll never want to go back to store-bought!

Storage
Spices are best kept in glass jars in a cool, dark place for up to 6 months. I keep mine in my pantry which is away from my stove.
Heat can make spices lose their flavor faster so try not to keep them close to any heat.

- Delicious on burgers on the grill

Frequently Asked Questions

They are not the same thing. Allspice is a dried berry used in baking and cocktails. All purpose seasoning is a spice mix that you use to add flavor to your favorite foods.
It’s easy to leave out the salt or use a salt-free seasoning. I prefer to use Kosher salt because it gives a nice salty flavor with less sodium
