Pork Free Herb Roasting Rub
A good spice rub can completely transform a roast, and this herb-forward blend delivers serious depth with nothing more than pantry staples. Rosemary, thyme, oregano, and parsley form a fragrant backbone, while turmeric and ginger add warmth and a subtle earthiness that makes the whole thing feel a little more special. A hit of lemon zest brightens everything up, and the optional cayenne gives you just enough heat to keep things interesting. Because it's built entirely from dried herbs and spices, there are no hidden additives or mystery fillers to worry about — just clean, straightforward flavor you mixed yourself. It works beautifully pressed onto chicken, fish, or vegetables before roasting or grilling, making it an incredibly versatile staple to keep on hand. Batch it up, seal it in a jar, and you've got a reliable go-to rub ready to go for up to three months.
