Ingredients

1 tbsp sea salt

1 tbsp sweet paprika

1 tbsp garlic powder

2 tsp ground white pepper

2 tsp onion powder

1 tsp ground cumin

1 tsp cayenne pepper

1 tsp dried oregano

1 tsp dried thyme

1 tsp dried basil

Directions

If using coarse sea salt, crush it with a mortar and pestle or the bottom of a heavy pan until it reaches a fine texture similar to the other spices.
In a dry bowl, combine the fine sea salt, paprika, garlic powder, white pepper, onion powder, cumin, cayenne pepper, oregano, thyme, and basil.
Stir well with a spoon until all ingredients are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
For a more uniform, finer powder, transfer the mixture to a spice grinder and pulse until you reach your desired consistency.
Store the seasoning blend in an airtight container away from heat and light for up to 6 months.

This is a straightforward spice blend that every chain in Charlotte stocks individually—no special trips needed. The actual time is honest; mixing takes five minutes. The cost per serving is nearly free, under a dime when divided across uses; you're paying mostly for the sea salt, and each dried herb and spice is a dollar or two that stretches across dozens of meals. It stores for months and makes a versatile base for weeknight proteins and vegetables. The only drawback is that it's a condiment, not a meal, so its usefulness depends entirely on what you apply it to.
