Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon onion powder
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon crushed red pepper
  • 1 tablespoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • 1 tablespoon allspice
  • ½ tablespoon white granulated sugar

  • ½ tablespoon ground clove
  • ½ tablespoon dried thyme

Instructions

  • Add everything to a small mixing bowl and give it a good stir until it’s all nicely combined and evenly mixed.
  • Transfer your spice blend to an airtight jar or container—something moisture-resistant is best.
  • Store it somewhere cool and dry (think pantry, not next to the stove), and it’ll keep its punchy flavor for up to 2 months.
