Artificial Food Coloring Free Ras El Hanout Spice Blend

Spice blends are one of those places where artificial dyes and synthetic additives sneak in more often than you'd expect — commercial versions can include anti-caking agents and colorants that have no business being in your spice rack. Making your own means every pinch is exactly what it looks like: pure, fragrant, real ingredients. This version layers warm turmeric and ginger with the floral depth of Ceylon cinnamon, earthy thyme and oregano, and the savory backbone of garlic and onion powder — it's complex, aromatic, and genuinely beautiful without a drop of anything artificial. Optional cloves and rosemary let you nudge the blend toward your own taste, whether you want something a little more peppery and resinous or prefer to keep it lighter. The whole thing comes together in minutes with a quick stir and stores in a jar for up to three months, so you can batch it once and reach for it all season long. Use it on roasted vegetables, grilled meats, or stirred into a braise and the kitchen will smell absolutely incredible.
