  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce 
  • 1 teaspoon liquid aminos, tamari, or soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika (more or less to taste)

  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon onion powder
  • ¼ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • ¼ cup toasted pecans, crushed
  • bell pepper stem (literally just cut the stem off a bell pepper to use as the the "pumpkin" stem)
