Capsaicin Free Old Bay–Style Seasoning Blend

That classic bay-style seasoning is one of those pantry staples that seems impossible to replicate without reaching for something fiery — but this blend proves otherwise. Celery salt, dried parsley, turmeric, and ginger do the heavy lifting here, delivering that signature savory-warm depth without a single chile, pepper flake, or spice that triggers capsaicin sensitivity. The addition of thyme, oregano, and basil rounds out the herbal backbone, while Ceylon cinnamon and optional cloves add a subtle sweetness that makes the whole blend feel surprisingly complex. It comes together in one bowl with nothing more than a whisk — just combine everything until those golden turmeric streaks disappear into the mix. Once it's sealed in an airtight jar and tucked away from heat and light, it keeps for up to three months, so you can batch it ahead and have it ready whenever a recipe calls for that briny, aromatic kick. Shake it over seafood, stir it into soups, or use it anywhere you'd normally reach for the iconic red-and-yellow tin — no label-reading anxiety required.
