Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons paprika
- 2 tablespoons salt
- 2 tablespoons garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
- 1 tablespoon dried oregano
- 1 tablespoon dried thyme
Instructions
Measure the spices
- Add all spices into a clean bowl. Level your measuring spoons so the blend stays balanced and the final taste stays even.
Mix the blend well
- Stir the spices with a spoon or whisk. Mix until every color looks combined and no single spice sits in clumps anywhere.
Check the flavor balance
- Smell the mix and adjust heat if needed. Add extra cayenne for spice lovers or more paprika for mild warm depth.
Store the seasoning
- Pour the spice blend into an airtight jar. Label the jar with the name and date so you always remember freshness.
Use the blend in recipes
- Sprinkle on meat, seafood, eggs, potatoes or soups. Start with small amounts, then add more as taste grows stronger.
Notes
- Always use fresh spices for best flavor
- Keep the jar sealed to stop flavor loss
- Shake the jar before each use
- Add brown sugar for sweet barbecue style
- Reduce cayenne if you do not like heat
