Ingredients
2 1/2 tablespoons paprika
2 tablespoons salt
2 tablespoons garlic powder
1 tablespoon black pepper
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon dried leaf oregano
1 tablespoon dried thyme
Directions
Measure all spices into a clean, dry bowl: paprika, salt, garlic powder, black pepper, onion powder, cayenne pepper, oregano, and thyme.
Whisk the spices together thoroughly for 1-2 minutes, breaking up any clumps, until the blend is uniform in color and texture.
Transfer the seasoning blend to a clean, airtight glass jar or container with a tight-fitting lid.
Label the container with the contents and date. Store in a cool, dark place away from heat and humidity for up to 6 months.
Comments
This is a spice blend, not a recipe, and every ingredient is stocked at every Charlotte grocery chain year-round—paprika, garlic powder, cayenne, oregano, and thyme are staples at Harris Teeter, Food Lion, Kroger, Walmart, and ALDI. A single batch costs under $3 and lasts months, making the per-serving cost negligible for the dozens of dishes you'll season with it. The five-minute time is honest for mixing dry ingredients, and the blend stores indefinitely in an airtight container. This earns high marks for availability and value, though it's a pantry item rather than a complete meal, which keeps it from a perfect score.
