Alpha Gal Friendly Herb Roasting Rub
Living with an alpha-gal allergy means scrutinizing every spice blend and seasoning packet for hidden mammal-derived additives, fillers, or natural flavors that can sneak in unexpected triggers. Making your own rub from scratch puts you completely in control, and this one delivers serious flavor without a single questionable ingredient. Rosemary, thyme, oregano, and parsley form a fragrant, herbaceous backbone, while turmeric and ginger add warmth and a subtle earthiness that makes everything smell incredible. A hit of lemon zest brightens the whole blend, and a pinch of cayenne gives it just enough kick to keep things interesting. It works beautifully pressed onto chicken, fish, pork, or a tray of roasted vegetables — basically anything you want to taste like it came out of a fancy kitchen. Stored in an airtight jar, a single batch will carry you through months of weeknight dinners and weekend grilling without any repeat effort.
