AIP Friendly Creole Herb & Turmeric Seasoning
Creole cooking is famous for its bold, layered spices, but most store-bought Creole blends are loaded with chili peppers, paprika, and black pepper — all off-limits on the autoimmune protocol. This homemade version captures that same aromatic depth using garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, thyme, and basil, with turmeric and a hint of Ceylon cinnamon adding warmth and a gorgeous golden hue. Ground ginger rounds everything out with a gentle heat that doesn't rely on nightshades or seed-based spices. The result is a seasoning blend that smells unmistakably Creole and works beautifully on proteins, roasted vegetables, or cauliflower rice. Mixing it takes about two minutes — just stir everything together until the turmeric is fully incorporated and there are no streaks. Stored in an airtight jar in a cool, dark spot, one batch yields 12 servings and keeps for up to six months, so you'll always have a compliant, flavor-packed blend ready to go. It's the kind of pantry staple that makes sticking to a healing diet feel a lot less like a sacrifice.
