In a small skillet, warm 2 tbsp of the olive oil over medium-low heat until it shimmers. Add the smoked paprika, cumin, coriander, cayenne, turmeric, and black pepper and stir constantly for about 45 seconds, until the spices are fragrant and the oil turns a deep red-orange — watch closely, as the spices can scorch quickly. Remove from the heat and stir in the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil to cool the mixture slightly.
