Sazon Seasoning Recipe

Sazon seasoning is a vibrant spice blend combining annatto powder, oregano, garlic, coriander, cumin, onion powder, black pepper, and salt. This homemade mix provides an authentic seasoned base to add color and flavor to a wide array of Latin American dishes. The annatto powder gives a warm, bright orange-red color along with a mild, nutty flavor. The combination of herbs and spices balances earthiness, pungency, and slight heat, making it versatile for meats, rice, beans, and stews.

Description

The Sazon seasoning recipe blends annatto powder, known for its color and subtle flavor, with oregano, garlic powder, ground coriander, cumin, onion powder, black pepper, and kosher salt. These ingredients are combined thoroughly and stored in an airtight container away from light and heat to preserve flavor and color for up to six months, with best results within two months.

This mix can be shaken before each use to redistribute spices and is an easy way to impart authentic Latin American seasoning tones to various dishes, from stews and grilled meats to rice and beans. Its distinctively bright hue adds visual appeal as well as flavor depth.
