Instructions
Step 1: Gather Your Spices
Measure out all the spices listed above. For best results, use high-quality, fresh spices whenever possible.
Step 2: Combine Ingredients
In a medium bowl, whisk together all the ingredients until thoroughly combined. Ensure there are no lumps and the mixture is evenly distributed.
Step 3: Taste and Adjust
Give the seasoning a small taste (or sprinkle it onto something neutral like bread or avocado). If you prefer more heat, add additional cayenne pepper. For extra tang, consider adding a pinch of lemon zest or citric acid.
Step 4: Store Properly
Transfer the seasoning to an airtight container or jar with a tight-fitting lid. Label the jar with the date and contents for future reference. Store in a cool, dark place for up to six months—or longer if kept in the freezer.
How to Use Your Zesty Seasoning
This versatile blend can elevate countless dishes:
Sprinkle it on roasted vegetables, chicken, or fish before cooking.
Add a dash to soups, stews, or sauces for a burst of flavor.
Use it as a rub for grilled meats or tofu.
Stir it into mashed potatoes, rice, or pasta dishes for a savory twist.
Mix it with melted butter for a flavorful dipping sauce.
Tips for Success
Customize the Heat: If you’re sensitive to spice, reduce the amount of cayenne pepper or omit the white pepper. Conversely, increase the cayenne for an extra fiery punch.
Experiment with Variations: Swap out some of the herbs for other favorites like basil, rosemary, or sage to create unique blends.
Make It Gluten-Free: All the ingredients in this recipe are naturally gluten-free, but always double-check store-bought spices if you have sensitivities.
Gift Idea: Package your homemade seasoning in decorative jars with labels for a thoughtful and personal gift.
