Calories: 1kcal
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon dried rosemary
- ½ teaspoon dried sage
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon dry mustard
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
- ⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried onion flakes
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons tomato powder optional
- 2 teaspoons mushroom powder optional
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to a coffee grinder or spice grinder.
- Pulse until finely ground with no large pieces remaining, about 30 seconds.
- Transfer to a pint-sized Mason jar or airtight container. Store at room temperature away from heat and light.
Notes
Dried spices are safe to eat for years, but this blend will start losing its punch after 12–18 months. Make a fresh batch each grilling season for best flavor.
If you have no coffee grinder, you can combine using a mortal and pestle or just mix together—just be aware you'll have some larger herb chunks in your final blend.
