Xanthan Gum Free Creole Herb & Turmeric Seasoning
Spice blends from the store can be a minefield — fillers, anti-caking agents, and stabilizers like xanthan gum have a way of sneaking into products you'd never expect. This homemade Creole-inspired blend sidesteps all of that with nothing but pure, recognizable spices you likely already have in your pantry. Garlic, onion, oregano, and thyme form a bold, savory backbone, while turmeric and ginger add warmth and a gorgeous golden hue. A whisper of Ceylon cinnamon rounds everything out with a subtle sweetness that keeps the blend from tipping into one-note territory. The whole thing comes together in minutes — just measure, stir until the turmeric is fully incorporated, and transfer to a jar. Stored in a cool, dark spot, it stays fresh for up to six months, so you can season chicken, seafood, rice, or roasted vegetables with confidence whenever the craving hits.
