What Makes This Recipe Great
If you’ve been here for a bit, you know I am all about homemade seasoning blends like dry ranch seasoning, this zesty Italian blend, chicken taco seasoning, and now this all-purpose seasoning recipe!
Homemade spice blends are easy to put together and a great way to keep out any sneaky ingredients, keeping your spices clean and ready for any use! It takes just 5 minutes to make your own with 8 pantry staples.
This all-purpose seasoning mix is really good for…all purposes! Chicken, sauces, burgers, potatoes, fish, shrimp, eggs, pork chops, chicken wings, and more! You can’t go wrong.
Ingredient Notes
- Paprika: I use plain paprika and not smoked.
- Garlic powder
- Onion powder
- Salt: I use fine salt. If you use coarse 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.
