Equipment

  • Small Bowl
  • Measuring Spoons
  • Airtight Jar with a Lid

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ tablespoon paprika
  • 1 ½ tablespoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • ¾ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • ½ tablespoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme
  • ½ teaspoon dried basil
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano

Instructions

  • Add all ingredients to a small bowl and mix.
  • Store in a jar or container with an airtight lid.

Notes

  • Serving: ½ tablespoon.
  • Mix Thoroughly: This helps distribute the smaller spices evenly throughout the blend.
  • Start Light: You can always add more seasoning, but it's harder to remove once applied.
  • Store Airtight: A sealed spice jar helps maintain freshness and flavor.
  • Make a Double Batch: One of our favorite things about homemade seasonings is having them ready whenever we need them.
  • Fresh Spices: Create the best and more prominent flavor.
  • Pantry: Store in an airtight container or spice jar for up to 6 months.
  • Room Temperature: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
  • Make Ahead: This seasoning is perfect for meal prep and homemade spice blends.
  • Best Flavor: While it keeps longer, we find the flavor is strongest during the first few months.
