Honey Free Italian Herb & Spice Rub
Fragrant, bold, and endlessly versatile, this Italian-inspired dry rub brings together a lineup of pantry staples that pack serious flavor into every pinch. Oregano, basil, and crushed rosemary lay down a classic herbal backbone, while smoked paprika and turmeric add warmth and a gorgeous golden hue. Garlic powder ties it all together, and a pinch of red pepper flakes gives it just enough of a kick if you're feeling adventurous. Many store-bought spice blends and marinades sneak in sweeteners you might not expect, so mixing your own from scratch is the smartest way to stay in control of exactly what goes on your food. Everything here is pure dried herb and spice — nothing more, nothing less. Stir it together in minutes, pour it into a jar, and you've got a go-to seasoning blend that keeps for up to six months. Rub it on chicken, toss it with roasted vegetables, or stir it into olive oil for a quick dipping sauce — the possibilities are genuinely endless.
