Gluten Free Old Bay–Style Seasoning Blend
Spice blends are one of those sneaky places where gluten can hide — fillers, anti-caking agents, and shared processing lines make store-bought seasoning mixes a gamble. Making your own means you know exactly what's in the jar, and this coastal-inspired blend delivers that bold, briny, warmly spiced flavor you'd expect from a classic seafood seasoning. Celery salt and a quartet of dried herbs lay down a savory backbone, while turmeric and ginger add earthy depth and a gorgeous golden hue. A whisper of Ceylon cinnamon rounds everything out with subtle sweetness that keeps the blend from tasting flat. The whole process is just measuring, whisking, and sealing — no cooking required, and no worrying about cross-contact from a factory floor. Shake it over shrimp, stir it into crab cakes, or dust it onto roasted potatoes for an instant flavor upgrade. Once you have a jar of this on your shelf, you'll wonder how you ever cooked without it.
