Yeast Free Old Bay–Style Seasoning Blend
Spice blends seem simple until you flip over a store-bought tin and spot ingredients you weren't expecting — including additives and fillers that can sneak yeast derivatives into an otherwise straightforward seasoning. This homemade blend puts you fully in control, built from pure dried herbs and spices with nothing hidden in the mix. Celery salt, turmeric, ginger, and a warm hit of Ceylon cinnamon come together in a way that's surprisingly complex for something you can whisk up in under five minutes. The layering of thyme, oregano, and basil gives it that classic coastal seasoning character, while garlic and onion powder round out the savory depth. A pinch of ground cloves is optional but adds a subtle warmth that makes the blend feel a little more special. Once it's sealed in a jar, it keeps for up to three months, so you can season seafood, roasted vegetables, or popcorn whenever the mood strikes — no label-reading required.
