Carrageenan Free Herb Roasting Rub
This fragrant spice blend is the kind of kitchen staple that makes weeknight roasting feel effortless and exciting. Rosemary, thyme, oregano, and parsley form a classic herby backbone, while turmeric, ginger, and a hint of lemon zest push things into genuinely craveable territory. The optional cayenne gives you a gentle kick if you want it, and the garlic and onion powder round everything out into a deeply savory, well-balanced rub. Many store-bought seasoning blends and marinades sneak in additives and thickeners — including carrageenan — that have no business being in a simple spice mix. Making your own means you know exactly what's in the jar, full stop. Every ingredient here is a straightforward pantry staple with nothing hidden in the label. Just press a tablespoon or two firmly onto chicken, fish, pork, or vegetables before roasting or grilling, and you're done. It stores beautifully in an airtight jar for up to three months, so you can batch it once and reach for it all season long. Once you have a jar of this on the shelf, you'll wonder how you ever roasted anything without it.
