Ingredients
8.8 ounces dehydrated carrots
3 tablespoons turmeric
2 tablespoons garlic powder
5 tablespoons iodized sea salt
Directions
Pour the dehydrated carrots into a food processor or spice grinder. Pulse or grind until the carrots are reduced to a fine powder, taking care not to over-process into a paste.
Transfer the ground carrot powder to a medium mixing bowl.
Add the turmeric, garlic powder, and iodized sea salt to the bowl.
Stir all ingredients together with a small spoon or whisk until evenly distributed and the color is uniform throughout.
Transfer the finished seasoning blend to an airtight glass jar or container and store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use as desired in soups, stews, grain dishes, and vegetable preparations.
Comments
This is a smart seasoning blend that costs almost nothing—dried carrots, turmeric, and garlic are pantry staples at every Charlotte chain, and you're paying under $2 total for a seasoning that will last months. The 10-minute prep time is honest; you're just dehydrating carrots and grinding everything together, which any home cook can manage in that window. The catch is that it's a dry blend, not a finished seasoning meant to feed two people as a dish, so "2 servings" is misleading labeling—you're making a condiment that seasons dozens of meals. This works beautifully for anyone who cooks regularly and wants to skip MSG, but it's not a weeknight dinner and shouldn't be shelved that way.
