Notes
- Paprika: Both sweet and smoked paprika work here.
- Italian seasoning: To make your own, add 1 1/2 teaspoons EACH of dried basil, oregano, rosemary, thyme, and marjoram. If you're missing one, just leave it out.
- Salt: Add salt to taste (I like 2 tablespoons), or leave it out of the blend and salt your individual dishes as you go.
- Cayenne pepper: Dial the heat up or down with more or less cayenne pepper (omit it entirely if you don't like spicy food).
- Yield: This recipe makes 3/4 cup seasoning.
- Storage: Store covered in a dark, cool place for up to 6 months.
