Walnut Free Italian Herb & Spice Rub
Homemade spice blends are one of those kitchen staples that make everything taste more intentional, and this Italian-inspired rub delivers serious depth with almost zero effort. Oregano, basil, rosemary, and thyme form a fragrant 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 you the option to dial up the heat whenever the mood strikes. Store-bought seasoning blends can be a minefield of mystery ingredients and shared-facility warnings, so mixing your own from scratch means you know exactly what's going in the jar. Just stir everything together, seal it up, and you've got a versatile rub that keeps for up to six months. Use it on chicken, roasted vegetables, grilled fish, or stirred into olive oil for a quick dipping sauce — the possibilities are genuinely endless.
