Vegan Old Bay–Style Seasoning Blend
Spice blends like this one are a pantry essential, and making your own means you control every single ingredient that goes into the jar. Store-bought seasoning mixes can hide surprising additives or be processed on shared lines, so a homemade version gives you total peace of mind. This blend layers celery salt, dried herbs like thyme, oregano, and basil, warm spices like turmeric and ginger, and a whisper of Ceylon cinnamon for a complex, deeply aromatic mix that punches well above its weight. The optional ground cloves add a subtle depth if you want to lean into that classic coastal-spice character. Everything comes together in a single bowl with just a good whisk until the turmeric is fully incorporated and no streaks remain. Once it's sealed in an airtight jar and tucked away from heat and light, it stays fresh for up to three months — ready to shake onto roasted vegetables, stir into soups, or use as a dry rub whenever the mood strikes.
