Eggless Herb Roasting Rub
A good spice rub can completely transform a weeknight roast, and this herb-forward blend delivers serious depth with almost zero effort. Rosemary, thyme, oregano, and parsley form a fragrant backbone, while turmeric and ginger add a warm, golden complexity that takes things well beyond a basic seasoning. A hit of lemon zest brightens everything up, and the optional cayenne gives you just enough heat to keep things interesting. Since it's made entirely from dried herbs and spices, there's nothing here that could sneak in an unwanted ingredient — just a clean, bold rub you mixed yourself. It works beautifully pressed onto chicken, fish, pork, or even roasted vegetables before they hit the oven or grill. Make a big batch, seal it in a jar, and you've got a go-to seasoning ready to go for up to three months.
