Low Sugar Old Bay–Style Seasoning Blend
Homemade spice blends are one of the easiest ways to take control of what goes into your food, and this one delivers that bold, briny, warmly spiced flavor you'd expect from a classic seafood seasoning — with zero hidden additives. Store-bought versions can sneak in fillers or unexpected ingredients, so mixing your own means you know exactly what's in every pinch. The combination of celery salt, garlic, onion, and a quartet of dried herbs builds a savory backbone, while turmeric and ginger add depth and a gorgeous golden hue. A whisper of Ceylon cinnamon rounds everything out with subtle warmth without tipping into sweetness. The whole process takes just minutes — whisk everything together until that turmeric is fully incorporated, then seal it up and you're set for months. Use it on seafood, roasted vegetables, popcorn, or anywhere you want a punchy, complex seasoning without reaching for the store shelf.
