Low Iodine Chili Powder Blend
Making your own spice blends from scratch is one of the smartest moves you can make when you're watching iodine intake, since commercial seasoning mixes often contain iodized salt or hard-to-verify additives. This homemade blend puts you fully in control, swapping in a measured amount of fine non-iodized salt so you get the flavor without the guesswork. The combination of ancho chile powder, two types of paprika, and ground cumin creates a deeply smoky, complex base that tastes far better than anything off a grocery store shelf. A whisper of cayenne brings just enough heat, while dried oregano and ground coriander round everything out with earthy, aromatic depth. It comes together in minutes with nothing more than a bowl and a whisk, and a single batch stores beautifully for up to six months. Keep a jar on hand and you'll have a reliable, safe seasoning ready to go for soups, roasted vegetables, marinades, or anything else that needs a bold, warming kick.
