Notes

Variations: For a spicier version, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or cayenne pepper. For a smoky flavor, use smoked paprika instead of regular paprika. You can also add a teaspoon of dried basil for an herbal boost.
Tips: Use a fine-mesh strainer to sift the ingredients if you prefer a finer texture. Make sure your dried herbs and spices are fresh to maximize the flavor of your blend. Shake the container well before each use to ensure even distribution of spices.
Intolerances and Allergies: This recipe is naturally gluten-free. However, ensure that your spices and dried herbs are processed in a facility free from potential allergens if needed. If you are allergic to garlic, do not prepare this blend.
Adjustments: If you prefer a saltier blend, add more salt. For a less intense garlic flavor, reduce the garlic powder and add a bit more onion powder. Adjust the herbs to your liking.
