Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp Smoked Paprika
- 2 tbsp Garlic Powder
- 2 tbsp dried thyme
- 1 tbsp dried rosemary
- 1 tbsp Onion Powder
- ½ tbsp dried sage I used ground
- 2 tsp Black Pepper ground
- 2 ½ tsp Natural Ancient Sea Salt optional if you’d like a salt-free version
- 1 tsp celery seeds
Instructions
- Add all of the ingredients to an airtight container
- Mix the spices until incorporated
- Store for up to 6 months
Notes
- How to use: I use about 2 tbsp of this blend per pound of meat. H
- Ground vs. rubbed sage matters: If you’re using ground sage, use ½ tablespoon since it’s more concentrated. Rubbed sage is lighter and fluffier, so you can use the full tablespoon.
- Salt is optional: This recipe includes fine sea salt, but you can leave it out if you prefer a salt-free version or like to control salt separately when cooking.
- Celery seed adds depth: The celery seed is optional, but it gives the blend a classic, slightly savory note that works especially well on roasted chicken and turkey. I use it in mine because I prefer it.
- Smoked paprika brings warmth: Using smoked paprika adds subtle smokiness. If you prefer a milder flavor, you can substitute regular paprika.
- Crush rosemary if needed (optional): If your dried rosemary pieces are large, lightly crush them between your fingers before mixing so they distribute more evenly.
- Shake before each use: Some spices may settle over time. Give the container a quick shake before seasoning your food.
- Storage tip: Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place for up to 6 months for the best flavor.
- Beyond poultry: This seasoning also works well on roasted vegetables, potatoes, pork chops, and even mixed into ground chicken or turkey.
