Seed Oil Free Italian Herb & Spice Rub
Fragrant, bold, and endlessly versatile, this blend layers classic Italian herbs with the warm depth of smoked paprika and a golden hint of turmeric. Every ingredient is a pure dried herb or spice — nothing more — which means there are zero hidden oils, fillers, or anti-caking agents that sneak into so many commercial seasoning blends. That matters more than people realize, since store-bought rubs often use sunflower or canola oil as a carrier or coating. Here, you control exactly what goes on your chicken, roasted vegetables, grilled fish, or homemade focaccia. The crushed rosemary and garlic powder give it a savory backbone, while the optional red pepper flakes add just enough heat to keep things interesting. It comes together in a single bowl and keeps in a jar for up to six months, so one quick mix session stocks your pantry for the long haul. Simple, clean, and genuinely delicious — this is the kind of staple that makes weeknight cooking feel effortless.
