Ingredients

Spices

  • 3 tablespoons smoked paprika
  • 2 tablespoons fine kosher salt
  • 2 tablespoons garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon ground white pepper
  • 1 tablespoon onion powder
  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano
  • 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 tablespoon dried thyme


Instructions

  1. Combine Spices: In a bowl or spice jar, mix together the smoked paprika, kosher salt, garlic powder, black pepper, white pepper, onion powder, dried oregano, cayenne pepper, and dried thyme until thoroughly blended.
  2. Store or Use: Use the seasoning immediately to enhance your dishes, or store it in a sealed container in a cool, dry place for up to one year to maintain maximum freshness and potency.

Notes

  • Smoked paprika adds a rich, smoky depth, but regular paprika can be used if preferred.
  • Adjust the cayenne quantity to control the heat level according to your taste.
  • Store in an airtight container to keep the seasoning fresh and aromatic.
  • This seasoning blend is versatile and works well on grilled meats, roasted vegetables, and even as a dry rub.
  • Shake or stir the blend before each use if stored for a long time, as spices can settle.
