Ingredient Notes
- Paprika: I use plain paprika and not smoked.

- Onion powder
- Sea Salt: I use fine salt. If you use coarse salt (like kosher salt or pink salt), you may need to add more to taste. If you want a salt-free version, simply omit this ingredient.
- Black pepper
- Parsley
- Oregano
- Sugar: I like to use monk fruit sweetener or coconut sugar instead of refined granulated sugar.
Recipe Step-by-Step
- Add your dried herbs and spices to a jar or small bowl and mix until combined.
