What Is Seasoning Salt Used For?
Seasoning salt is a combination of common spices that together create a flavorful seasoning for many recipes, including pork, fish, beef, and chicken dishes!
Seasoning salt can also be used to enhance the flavor of roasted vegetables, as well. The ingredients including garlic powder, onion powder and paprika (to name a few) combine to give your dishes an additional pop of flavor!
What Do I Need To Make Simple Seasoning Salt?
To make simple seasoning salt you will need salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper and ground turmeric, and that is it.
All of these spices are commonly found in most grocery stores in the spice section. I keep a supply on hand year round, because they are pretty basic staples used in many recipes.
Measure And Mix!
Measure the spices into a small bowl. This recipe, as it is written, will yield just over 1/3 cup of simple seasoning salt.
This amounts to approximately 19 teaspoons, or just over 6 Tablespoons of seasoning mix, but it’s easy to double or triple the recipe, if you need or want to make a larger quantity.
Stir the spices well, until they have been fully incorporated together. This is your simple seasoning salt! Now the question is… how should you store the spice mix?
Storing Simple Seasoning Salt
Use a funnel (if you have one) to transfer the seasoning salt into a clean, dry and airtight container. TIP: Try using old spice bottles that have been thoroughly cleaned and completely dried to store the spice mix.
Once you’ve transferred the spice mixture to the container, seal it, then slap a label on it, to identify which spice mixture is inside. That’s it!
Store the simple seasoning salt in your pantry or on a spice rack. This mixture should hold its flavor (at its peak) for 6-12 months.
I hope you have the opportunity to whip up a batch of simple seasoning salt to enhance your favorite recipes. It’s so simple to make, and I am confident you’ll enjoy having it on hand!
