Equipment

  • An airtight container, water spice jar

Ingredients
  

  • ¼ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ tablespoon ground toasted cumin seeds
  • ½ teaspoon crushed Mediterranean oregano
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon granulated garlic
  • ½ tablespoon smoky chili blend
  • ⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon coarse sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon sweet paprika

Instructions
 

Step 1: Gather Your Ingredients

  • Start by collecting all your ingredients in one place. This set up will make the process smoother. Also, ensure that your spices are fresh; old spices can lose their potency and flavor.

Step 2: Measure the Spices

  • Using a measuring spoon, carefully measure out each ingredient. Precision is key to achieving the perfect blend, so take your time here.

Step 3: Mix the Ingredients

  • In a small bowl, combine all the measured spices. Use a whisk or spoon to mix everything together thoroughly. This step blends the flavors and ensures that no single spice overpowers the others.

Step 4: Store Your Seasoning

  • Once your seasoning is well mixed, transfer it to an airtight container. Glass jars work great here. Proper storage will keep it fresh for months. Label your container for easy access later.

Step 5: Use It!

  • Now that your seasoning is ready, sprinkle it generously over your favorite proteins or veggies before grilling them. The flavors will dance together as they cook.

Notes

  • Scale It Up: If you find yourself using this often, make a larger batch. It stores well for future meals.
  • Freshly Ground Spices: Whenever possible, grind spices fresh. Whole spices retain their flavor longer.
  • Taste Testing: Don’t be shy! After making the seasoning, taste it. Adjust the spice levels based on your preference.
  • Experiment: Feel free to add in other spices you enjoy. Chipotle powder can add a smoky heat, or dried lime can add tartness.
  • Label with Date: Spices can lose potency over time, so keep track of when you make a batch. Use within 6 months for the best flavor.
