Homemade All Purpose Seasoning Recipe
Here’s the tea, not all all-purpose seasonings are created equal. Some are heavy on salt, some lean more garlicky, some have a Cajun vibe. That’s why a lot of us who cook a lot end up making our own so we can control the flavor and the salt. If you’ve been cooking with me, you already know I don’t play about seasoning. This is one of those blends that helps you move quick in the kitchen but still make food taste like you actually care.

Instructions
- Grab your salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and any extras you like. Measure everything into a bowl.
- Stir the spices together until everything is evenly combined. Break up any clumps so you don’t get pockets of salt or seasoning.
- Give it a quick taste. Want more garlic? Add it. Need more salt? Sprinkle a little more. This is where you make it yours.
- Pour the seasoning into an airtight jar or spice container.
- If you’re anything like me and have a whole cabinet full of blends, label it so you know exactly what it is.
- Keep it in a cool, dry place away from heat and moisture so it stays fresh.
