Legume Free Old Bay–Style Seasoning Blend
That bold, briny seasoning you reach for on seafood and roasted veggies can be surprisingly tricky to replicate at home — especially when you need to avoid legume-derived fillers or anti-caking agents that sneak into commercial spice blends. This homemade version keeps things clean and straightforward, built entirely from dried herbs and pure ground spices you can trust. Turmeric and ginger bring warmth and a subtle earthiness, while celery salt anchors the blend with that signature savory depth. Thyme, oregano, and basil layer in herbal complexity, and a touch of Ceylon cinnamon rounds everything out with gentle sweetness. The whole thing comes together in a single bowl with just a good whisk — no cooking, no fuss. Once it's sealed in an airtight jar, it stays fresh for up to three months, ready to shake over shrimp, corn, potatoes, or anything else that needs a serious flavor boost.
