Fish Free Herb Roasting Rub
This fragrant spice blend brings together rosemary, thyme, oregano, and parsley alongside warm notes of turmeric and ginger for a rub that makes just about anything coming out of the oven smell incredible. The brightness of lemon zest cuts through the earthiness of the dried herbs, while garlic and onion powder round everything out into a deeply savory coating. A pinch of cayenne is optional, so you can dial the heat up or down depending on who's at the table. It comes together in minutes with a quick stir, and once it's sealed in a jar it keeps for up to three months — meaning you can batch it ahead and have bold, herby flavor ready to go on a weeknight. Pressing a generous amount firmly onto chicken, pork, or vegetables before roasting helps the rub really cling and form that gorgeous, aromatic crust. Every ingredient here is a straightforward pantry staple, so there's no guesswork about hidden seafood-derived additives that sometimes sneak into pre-made seasoning blends. It's the kind of homemade mix that makes you wonder why you ever bought the store version.
