US - Metric

Instructions

  • Combine all of the ingredients in a small bowl and blend thoroughly with a fork or a wire whisk.
  • Transfer to a small jar or container, cover and store.

Notes

  • Mix Thoroughly: Use a fork or small whisk to evenly blend the spices so every sprinkle delivers balanced flavor.
  • Store Properly: Keep the seasoning in an airtight jar or spice container in a cool, dry place for up to 6 months.
  • Check Spice Freshness: If your spices are over a year old, their flavor may fade. Fresher spices make the mix more vibrant and aromatic.
  • Customize the Heat: Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or crushed red pepper flakes for extra spice.
