Macadamia Free Herb Roasting Rub
Store-bought spice blends can be a minefield — shared facilities, mystery fillers, and ingredient lists that require a magnifying glass. This all-herb rub sidesteps all of that by relying on a straightforward lineup of pantry staples you can verify yourself. Rosemary, thyme, oregano, and parsley form a fragrant, earthy backbone, while turmeric and ginger add warmth and a subtle golden hue that looks stunning on roasted chicken or vegetables. A hit of lemon zest brightens everything up, and the optional cayenne gives it just enough kick to keep things interesting. It comes together in minutes with nothing more than a bowl and a spoon, and a single batch stores for up to three months in an airtight jar. Press it firmly onto your protein or veggies before roasting or grilling and the herbs form a gorgeous, aromatic crust. It's the kind of versatile kitchen staple that quietly makes every meal taste more intentional.
