-
Tips: Use freshly grated parmesan and dry it in a low oven before using, but powdered parmesan will give the best shelf stability. Always use a clean, dry spoon when measuring out your seasoning. To avoid clumping, add a silica gel packet to the jar, if available.
-
Allergies/Intolerances: This recipe contains dairy (parmesan). It is not gluten-free due to the potential for cross-contamination of spices (always verify gluten-free label on products).
-
Taste Adjustments: Adjust the amount of salt to your preference. If you prefer a stronger garlic flavor, add more garlic powder. Reduce salt for low sodium diets.
