Corn Free Ras El Hanout Spice Blend
Store-bought spice blends are one of the sneakiest places corn derivatives hide ā from anti-caking agents to maltodextrin used as a filler, the ingredient list can be a minefield. Making your own version at home puts you back in control, and this warm, aromatic blend is genuinely worth the two minutes it takes to pull together. Turmeric, ginger, and Ceylon cinnamon form a rich, earthy backbone, while thyme, oregano, garlic powder, and onion powder round things out with savory depth. The optional cloves and rosemary add a slightly resinous, floral note if you want to push the complexity even further. Ras el hanout is a North African staple that works beautifully as a rub for roasted meats, stirred into stews, or dusted over roasted vegetables ā it's one of those blends that makes everything taste like you actually know what you're doing in the kitchen. Store it in an airtight jar away from heat and light, and it'll stay fragrant and potent for up to three months.
