Paleo Herb Roasting Rub
This fragrant spice blend is the kind of pantry staple that quietly transforms everything it touches — from a simple chicken breast to a tray of roasted vegetables. Every ingredient is a whole, unprocessed herb or spice, which means it fits naturally into a grain-free, legume-free lifestyle without any label-reading stress. Rosemary, thyme, oregano, and parsley form a deeply savory backbone, while turmeric and ginger add warmth and a subtle earthiness that makes the blend feel genuinely complex. A hit of lemon zest brightens everything up, and the optional cayenne gives you just enough heat to keep things interesting. Mixing it together takes only a few minutes, and once it's sealed in a jar it stays fresh for up to three months — so you can batch it once and reach for it all season long. Press it firmly onto your protein or vegetables before roasting or grilling and you'll get a beautifully seasoned crust with zero fuss.
