Soulful Seasoning

Comforting flavors of garlic, onion and thyme, with spicy red pepper and smoky paprika make this a versatile seasoning for veggies, meats, rice, tofu and soups.
Bowl of seasoning mix.
Prep time: 5 minutes
Makes: 10 Tablespoons

Ingredients

3 Tablespoons onion powder
4 Tablespoons garlic powder
1 Tablespoon cayenne pepper or other ground hot pepper (see Notes)
1 Tablespoon paprika
1 teaspoon black pepper
2 teaspoons ground thyme

Directions

  1. Wash hands with soap and water.
  2. Mix ingredients well and store in an airtight container.

Notes

  • Use with vegetables and meats.
  • You can adjust the spice level you like by using less or more cayenne pepper or a different type of ground hot pepper. Ancho, California, New Mexico and Colorado ground peppers have a mild flavor; cayenne and chile de arbol powders are spicier.

Comments

I love this soulful seasoning! It is very flavorful and has a little kick to it when using the cayenne pepper. This soulful seasoning goes perfect with chicken or on burgers.
