Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons paprika
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 1 1/2 tablespoons garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon pepper
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 2 teaspoons oregano
- 1 1/2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
- 2 teaspoons thyme
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients in an air tight container and store in a cool, dark place.
- Use as needed.
Notes
- Use the freshest spices you can find - old cayenne and paprika lose their potency fast and the whole blend will taste flat if even one spice is past its prime.
- Rub the seasoning between your fingers before adding it to a dish to release the oils and activate more flavor.
- Start with less than you think you need and add more after tasting - you can always add heat but you cannot take it away.
- Store in glass rather than plastic for fresher flavor and a longer shelf life.
- Make a double batch while you are at it since this blend disappears fast once you start cooking with it regularly.
