Xanthan Gum Free Herb Roasting Rub
This fragrant spice blend is the kind of pantry staple that transforms an ordinary weeknight roast into something that smells like it took all day. Rosemary, thyme, oregano, and parsley form a classic herby backbone, while turmeric, ginger, and a hint of cayenne add warmth and depth that keeps things interesting. A touch of lemon zest brightens the whole mix and makes it feel fresh even though every ingredient comes straight from your spice rack. Many store-bought seasoning blends and spice packets sneak in fillers and stabilizers that can be a real headache to track down on an ingredient label — this one is just pure herbs and spices, nothing else. You mix it in a single bowl, pack it into a jar, and it keeps for up to three months, ready to go whenever dinner inspiration strikes. Press it onto chicken, fish, pork, or vegetables before roasting or grilling and you'll have a beautifully seasoned crust with almost zero effort. It's the kind of recipe you make once and then wonder how you ever cooked without it.
