Chestnut Free Old Bay–Style Seasoning Blend
Spice blends sold at the grocery store can be a minefield when you're navigating tree nut allergies, since shared facilities and vague labeling make it hard to know exactly what's in the tin. Making your own at home puts you completely in control, and this bold, aromatic blend delivers that iconic bay-seasoning punch using nothing but herbs, spices, and salt. Celery salt and dried parsley lay down a savory, briny base, while turmeric and ginger add warmth and a gorgeous golden hue. A whisper of Ceylon cinnamon rounds everything out with a subtle sweetness that keeps the blend from tasting flat. The whole thing comes together in one bowl with a quick whisk — no cooking, no equipment, no fuss. Stored in an airtight jar, it stays fresh for up to three months, so you can shake it over seafood, corn, roasted potatoes, or anything else that needs a serious flavor upgrade. Once you've made your own, it's genuinely hard to go back to the store-bought version.
