Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Paprika
- 1.5 tablespoons Ground cumin
- 1 tablespoon Ground coriander
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Ground ginger
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground allspice
- 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground turmeric
- 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
- 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
Instructions
In a small mixing bowl, combine paprika, ground cumin, ground coriander, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, ground allspice, ground black pepper, kosher salt, ground turmeric, and brown sugar.
If you like a mild kick, add red pepper flakes to the mix, adjusting the quantity to your heat preference.
Mix the spices thoroughly with a spoon or whisk to ensure even integration.
Use immediately by rubbing the mixture directly onto meat, poultry, or vegetables before cooking.
For best results, apply the rub generously and allow the ingredients to marinate for at least 30 minutes for vegetables and 1 hour for meat or poultry before cooking.
Store any leftover spice rub in an airtight container in a cool, dry place for future use, up to 3 months.
