Yeast Free Italian Herb & Spice Rub
Dried herbs and spices are the unsung heroes of the kitchen, and this blend pulls together some of the best Mediterranean flavors into one jar you'll reach for constantly. Oregano, basil, rosemary, and thyme form a fragrant backbone, while smoked paprika adds a subtle depth and turmeric brings a warm, earthy undertone that makes the whole mix feel a little more interesting than your average seasoning blend. A pinch of red pepper flakes is optional, so you can dial the heat up or down depending on who's eating. For anyone navigating a yeast-free lifestyle, spice blends can be a surprisingly tricky area — some commercial seasoning mixes sneak in yeast extract or anti-caking agents that don't belong on a restricted plate. This one is made entirely from whole dried herbs and clean pantry staples, so you know exactly what's going into your food. Stir everything together, pour it into an airtight jar, and you've got a versatile rub that works beautifully on chicken, roasted vegetables, fish, or even stirred into olive oil for dipping. It keeps for up to six months, meaning one quick batch pays off for a long time.
