Brazil Nut Free Italian Herb & Spice Rub
This fragrant spice blend brings together the best of Mediterranean cooking in one small jar — earthy oregano and basil, woodsy rosemary and thyme, warm smoked paprika, and a golden hit of turmeric that makes everything feel a little more alive. A pinch of red pepper flakes gives it just enough kick to keep things interesting without overwhelming the other flavors. The whole thing comes together in minutes with a quick stir, and then it's ready to go whenever you need it. Pre-made spice blends can be a minefield for anyone avoiding tree nuts, since shared processing facilities and vague labeling make even simple seasonings feel risky — mixing your own from scratch eliminates that guesswork entirely. Every ingredient here is a straightforward pantry staple with no hidden surprises. Rub it onto chicken, pork, or roasted vegetables before cooking, or stir it into olive oil for a quick marinade. Make a batch on Sunday and you'll reach for it all week long.
