Xanthan Gum Free Italian Herb & Spice Rub
Dried herbs and spices are the backbone of so much great cooking, and this blend pulls together some of the most aromatic players in the pantry into one deeply savory mix. Oregano, basil, rosemary, and thyme bring classic Mediterranean warmth, while smoked paprika adds a subtle earthiness and turmeric gives the whole thing a gorgeous golden hue. A hit of garlic powder ties it all together, and the optional red pepper flakes let you dial up the heat exactly as much as you want. Store-bought seasoning blends can be a minefield of unnecessary fillers and additives, so mixing your own means you know exactly what's going in. Every single ingredient here is a pure, single-source spice or herb — nothing synthetic, nothing hidden. Stir it together in minutes, pour it into a jar, and you've got a go-to rub that works beautifully on roasted vegetables, grilled chicken, pasta, or anything else that needs a lift. It keeps for up to six months, so one small batch goes a long, long way.
