Hazelnut Free Memphis-Style Dry Rub

Bold, smoky-sweet, and deeply aromatic, this Memphis-style dry rub brings serious barbecue energy to whatever protein you throw on the grill or into the oven. The blend of turmeric, ginger, and Ceylon cinnamon gives it a warm complexity that goes way beyond the standard salt-and-pepper routine, while dried thyme and oregano add a herby backbone that keeps things grounded. Coconut sugar caramelizes beautifully during cooking, helping build that coveted crust on the outside of the meat without any fuss. Packaged spice blends and store-bought rubs can be a minefield when you're avoiding tree nuts, since shared processing facilities are common and labels aren't always clear. Every ingredient here is straightforward and easy to source individually, so you stay in full control of what goes into the mix. Whisk everything together, seal it in a jar, and you've got a pantry staple that keeps for up to three months. Press it generously onto your meat, let it rest in the fridge, and get ready for results that taste like you've been perfecting this recipe for years.
