Whole 30 Herb Roasting Rub
A good spice blend can make or break a roast, and this one delivers serious depth with every pinch. Rosemary, thyme, oregano, and parsley form a fragrant herbal backbone, while turmeric, ginger, and a hint of cayenne add warmth and just enough kick to keep things interesting. The lemon zest is the quiet hero here — it brightens everything up and makes the whole blend feel fresh rather than dusty. Store-bought seasoning blends are notorious for sneaking in sugar, fillers, or additives that can derail a clean eating reset, so mixing your own from scratch is genuinely the smarter move. Everything in this blend is straightforwardly compliant — just pure spices, herbs, and sea salt, nothing hidden. It works beautifully pressed onto chicken, fish, pork, or roasted vegetables, making it one of those pantry staples you'll reach for constantly. Mix up a jar and keep it on the counter — dinner just got a whole lot easier.
