Almond Free Italian Herb & Spice Rub
Fragrant, bold, and endlessly versatile, this herb and spice blend brings serious Italian-kitchen energy to whatever you're cooking. Dried oregano, basil, rosemary, and thyme form the aromatic backbone, while smoked paprika and turmeric add depth and a gorgeous golden hue. A hit of garlic powder and a pinch of red pepper flakes round things out with just enough warmth to keep things interesting. The whole thing comes together in a single bowl in under five minutes — just stir and you're done. Store-bought seasoning blends can be a minefield if you're navigating nut allergies, since shared facilities and vague labeling make it hard to know what's really inside the jar. Making your own means every single ingredient is accounted for, and this recipe keeps it clean with nothing but pure dried herbs and spices. Rub it onto chicken, stir it into olive oil for dipping, or toss it with roasted vegetables — a batch keeps for up to six months, so you'll always have it on hand.
