MSG Free Herb Roasting Rub
A fragrant blend of rosemary, thyme, oregano, and warm spices like turmeric and ginger, this rub transforms any cut of meat or tray of vegetables into something genuinely crave-worthy. The brightness of lemon zest cuts through the earthiness of the herbs, while a touch of cayenne adds just enough heat to keep things interesting. Store-bought seasoning blends are one of the sneakiest places hidden additives show up, often tucked behind vague ingredient labels — mixing your own from scratch means you know exactly what's going in. Every single ingredient here is a whole, recognizable spice or herb, so there's no guesswork and no unwanted extras. Simply press a generous tablespoon or two onto chicken, fish, pork, or roasted vegetables before they hit the oven or grill, and the results speak for themselves. It keeps in an airtight jar for up to three months, making it a pantry staple you'll reach for again and again.
