Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons dried parsley
- 1 tablespoon dried basil
- 1 tablespoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon dried dill
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Place all dried herbs and spices in a small bowl or directly into a spice grinder (if you prefer a finer texture).
Stir or pulse the grinder to combine the ingredients thoroughly. Ensure the blend is evenly mixed.
If using a spice grinder, pulse in short bursts until the desired texture is achieved (coarse or powdery, depending on preference).
Transfer the blend into an airtight container or spice jar.
Store in a cool, dark place for up to 6 months, shaking the jar occasionally to prevent clumping.
Use approximately 1/2 teaspoon per serving of food as a salt substitute to enhance flavor.
