Carrageenan Free Old Bay–Style Seasoning Blend
Spice blends are one of those sneaky places where additives and anti-caking agents can creep in, making store-bought versions a gamble for anyone watching what goes into their food. This homemade blend sidesteps all of that by relying entirely on pure dried herbs and spices — celery salt, turmeric, ginger, thyme, oregano, basil, garlic powder, onion powder, and a warm hint of Ceylon cinnamon — nothing more. The result is a bold, aromatic seasoning with that unmistakable coastal-spice character you know and love, built entirely from your own pantry. Whisking everything together until the turmeric is fully incorporated takes about two minutes, and then you've got a jar that keeps for up to three months on the shelf. It's fantastic on seafood, roasted vegetables, popcorn, or anywhere you'd reach for a classic seafood seasoning. Once you make your own, it's genuinely hard to go back to the pre-packaged stuff.
