Fructose Free Italian Herb & Spice Rub
Fragrant, bold, and endlessly versatile, this herb and spice blend brings serious Italian-inspired flavor 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 warm color. A touch of garlic powder and cracked black pepper round everything out, with optional red pepper flakes for anyone who likes a little heat. Managing fructose intake often means scrutinizing store-bought spice blends for sneaky additives, sweeteners, or onion-based fillers — making a homemade rub like this a genuinely smart move. Every single ingredient here is straightforward and low-fructose friendly, so you can season generously without second-guessing the label. It takes just minutes to stir together and keeps in an airtight jar for up to six months, meaning you'll always have a reliable, flavorful rub on hand. Rub it onto chicken, fish, or roasted vegetables and let these herbs do all the heavy lifting.
