Cashew 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, turmeric gives it a warm golden hue, and the combination of oregano, basil, rosemary, and thyme hits that classic Mediterranean note every time. Store-bought seasoning blends can be a minefield for anyone avoiding tree nuts, since shared facilities and vague labeling make it hard to know exactly what you're getting. Making your own from scratch means you control every single ingredient — and this one comes together in about two minutes with nothing but a bowl and a spoon. The recipe makes enough to store in a jar for up to six months, so you can season generously all season long without reaching for a questionable packet. Keep it on the counter and you'll find yourself reaching for it constantly.
