Capsaicin Free Ras El Hanout Spice Blend

Ras el hanout is one of those deeply aromatic North African blends that makes everything it touches taste more complex and layered — but most commercial versions include chili, paprika, or other capsaicin-containing spices that can be a real problem for sensitive cooks. This version is built entirely around warm, fragrant ingredients like turmeric, Ceylon cinnamon, ginger, and cloves, delivering that signature depth without any heat. The result is earthy, slightly sweet, and wonderfully floral — everything you want from a spice blend that's meant to do the heavy lifting in a dish. Ceylon cinnamon is a smart choice here because it's noticeably softer and more delicate than the cassia variety, which keeps the blend balanced rather than overpowering. Dried thyme, oregano, garlic powder, and onion powder round things out with a savory backbone that makes this incredibly versatile across roasted meats, vegetables, and grain dishes. It comes together in minutes and keeps for up to three months in an airtight jar, so you can batch it once and reach for it all season long.
