Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Measuring spoons

Ingredients

  • 2.5 tablespoons Paprika
  • 1 tablespoon Cayenne
  • 1 tablespoon Onion granules
  • 1 tablespoon Garlic granules
  • 2 teaspoons Thyme
  • ½ tablespoon Oregano
  • 2 teaspoons Black pepper
  • 2 teaspoons Salt or to taste

Instructions

  • Dry a small mixing bowl and measuring spoons.
  • Measure all the ingredients in the bowl.
  • Mix till all the ingredients are well combined.

Notes

  • Adjust the quantity of the cayenne pepper to suit how spicy you want the seasoning
  • Dry all the utensils you will use to make the spice mixture. Wet utensils can make the seasoning clump and moldy when stored.
  • It's best to make it in small batches so, you don't store it for more than six months at a time. This way, you have fresh seasoning that hasn't lost flavor.
