Legume Free Ras El Hanout Spice Blend
Warm, aromatic, and deeply complex, this North African-inspired spice blend layers earthy turmeric and ginger with the gentle sweetness of Ceylon cinnamon and the herbal depth of thyme and oregano. It's the kind of blend that transforms a simple weeknight protein or roasted vegetable into something that tastes like it took hours of effort. Store-bought spice mixes can be a minefield — fillers, anti-caking agents, and unexpected legume-derived additives sneak into more blends than you'd think. Making your own from scratch means you know exactly what's going in the jar, and every single ingredient here is naturally free from beans, lentils, peas, and their derivatives. The optional cloves and rosemary add an extra layer of intrigue if you want to push the complexity even further. Just stir, jar, and you've got a pantry staple ready to go for up to three months.
