Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons smoked paprika
- 2 tablespoons garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons onion powder
- 1.5 tablespoons dried oregano
- 1.5 tablespoons dried thyme
- 2 teaspoons ground cayenne pepper
- 1 tablespoons ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoons white pepper
- 1 tablespoons kosher salt
- 1 tablespoons brown sugar
Instructions
Gather all the ingredients and ensure you have precise measurements for each item.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, and dried thyme.
Add ground cayenne pepper, ground black pepper, white pepper, kosher salt, and brown sugar to the bowl.
Using a whisk or fork, thoroughly mix all the ingredients until evenly combined. Ensure there are no clumps of spices, especially with the brown sugar.
Taste a small pinch of the mixture to check for desired spice levels and adjust to your preference. Add more cayenne for extra heat or brown sugar for a hint of sweetness.
Transfer the completed rub to an airtight container, such as a mason jar or a spice jar, and store in a cool, dry place for up to 6 months.
Use generously to season meat, seafood, or vegetables before grilling, roasting, or sautéing. Brush with oil or butter to help the rub stick to the ingredients.
