Coconut Free Herb Roasting Rub
A good spice rub can completely transform a weeknight roast, and this herb-forward blend delivers serious depth with nothing but pantry staples. Rosemary, thyme, oregano, and parsley form a fragrant backbone, while turmeric and ginger add warmth and a subtle earthiness that makes the whole thing feel a little more special. A hit of lemon zest brightens everything up, and the optional cayenne gives you just enough heat to keep things interesting. Many store-bought rubs and seasoning blends sneak in unexpected ingredients, so mixing your own means you know exactly what's going on your food. It works beautifully pressed onto chicken, fish, pork, or even roasted vegetables — basically anything that benefits from a bold, aromatic crust. Make a batch, seal it in a jar, and you've got a reliable flavor booster ready to go for up to three months.
