Gut Friendly Herb Roasting Rub
A good spice blend can completely transform a simple roast, and this one is built around herbs and spices that genuinely support digestive wellness. Rosemary, thyme, oregano, and parsley bring bold, aromatic flavor, while turmeric and ginger add warm depth along with their well-known gut-soothing properties. Garlic powder and onion powder round out the savory base, and a hit of lemon zest keeps everything bright and lively. Store-bought seasoning blends often sneak in fillers, anti-caking agents, or preservatives that can irritate a sensitive gut — making a homemade rub like this a genuinely smarter choice. Everything comes together in one bowl with a quick stir, then transfers straight into a jar that keeps for up to three months. Press it onto chicken, fish, pork, or vegetables before roasting or grilling, and you've got a weeknight dinner that tastes like you put in way more effort than you actually did. It's the kind of pantry staple that earns its spot on the shelf every single time you reach for it.
