About 1/2 cup
Servings
Ingredients
- Paprika — 2 tbsp
- Cumin — 1 tbsp
- Garlic powder — 1 tbsp
- Coriander seed — 1 tsp
- Black pepper — 1 tsp
- Dried thyme or oregano — 1 tsp
- Salt — to taste
Method
- Combine ground and dried ingredients directly; the coriander and cumin can be toasted and ground fresh for a more pronounced flavor, or used pre-ground for convenience.
- Optional light toasting of cumin and coriander seed before grinding, for a deeper flavor.
Origin: Original formula for this reference — a general-purpose seasoning designed for roasting a wide range of vegetables.
Use: Toss with oil-coated vegetables before roasting.
Classic Dishes: A flexible seasoning applicable to nearly any roasted vegetable preparation.
Storage: Keeps 6 months to a year sealed and dark.
Variations: Deliberately versatile — the base ratio can be adjusted toward a smokier profile (more paprika), an earthier profile (more cumin), or a brighter profile (more thyme/oregano and less cumin) depending on the vegetable and desired result.
Substitutions: Any combination of paprika, garlic powder, and a dried herb of choice.
