Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 2 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoon cracked black pepper
- 2 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
- 2 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon ground allspice
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon grated nutmeg
- ½ teaspoon ground cumin
- ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
Instructions
- Mix everything together and store in an airtight jar.
Notes
- The spice blend has a kick but isn't as fiery as some blends. You can increase or decrease the cayenne according to taste.
- I add salt to my spice blend for extra flavor. But remember not to salt the meat/fish when marinating it. Feel free to leave the salt out and salt your dishes separately.
- The added sweetness balances the heat from the cayenne and red pepper flakes. I like to use raw sugar, but you can use regular white sugar.
