Chestnut Free Herb Roasting Rub
This fragrant spice blend is the kind of pantry staple that quietly transforms every roast you make. Rosemary, thyme, oregano, and parsley form a classic herbal backbone, while turmeric, ginger, and a hint of lemon zest push it somewhere a little more exciting. A touch of cayenne is optional, but it adds just enough warmth to keep things interesting without overwhelming the other flavors. The whole thing comes together in minutes — just stir, jar, and you've got a ready-to-go rub that keeps for up to three months. Pre-made seasoning blends can be a minefield when you're avoiding certain ingredients, since fillers and flavor enhancers have a way of sneaking in. Making your own means you know exactly what's in the jar, and every single ingredient here is straightforward and easy to source. Press it onto chicken, fish, pork, or vegetables before roasting or grilling, and you'll wonder why you ever reached for a store-bought packet.
