Wheat Free Italian Herb & Spice Rub
This fragrant blend of Mediterranean herbs and warm spices is the kind of pantry staple that quietly transforms everything it touches — from roasted chicken and grilled vegetables to a simple drizzle of olive oil for dipping. The combination of oregano, basil, rosemary, and thyme gives it that classic Italian backbone, while smoked paprika and turmeric add unexpected depth and a gorgeous golden hue. A pinch of red pepper flakes rounds things out with just enough heat to keep it interesting. Store-bought spice blends can be a minefield, with fillers, anti-caking agents, and shared production lines that introduce hidden gluten concerns. Making your own means you know exactly what's in the jar — and in this case, every single ingredient is naturally free of wheat. It takes about two minutes to stir together and keeps for up to six months in an airtight jar, so one small batch goes a long way. Whether you're seasoning a weeknight dinner or prepping for a big cookout, this rub earns its spot on the spice rack.
