Caffeine Free Italian Herb & Spice Rub
Fragrant, bold, and endlessly versatile, this herb and spice blend brings serious Italian-inspired flavor to everything from roasted chicken to grilled vegetables. Smoked paprika adds a subtle depth, while turmeric gives the mix a warm, golden hue that looks just as good as it tastes. The crushed rosemary and thyme keep things earthy and aromatic, and a pinch of red pepper flakes can dial up the heat whenever you're feeling it. Unlike store-bought seasoning blends, which can sometimes sneak in surprising additives, this one is made entirely from straightforward pantry staples — nothing hidden, nothing unnecessary. It comes together in a single bowl in under five minutes and keeps for up to six months in an airtight jar, so you can batch it out and have it ready to go all season long. Whether you're rubbing it onto meat before a roast or stirring it into olive oil for a quick dipping sauce, this blend punches well above its weight.
