Ingredients:

  • 3 tbsp Dried Greek Oregano
  • 1 tbsp Dried Thyme
  • 1 tbsp Dried Marjoram
  • 1 tsp Dried Rosemary, crushed
  • 2 tbsp Garlic Powder
  • 1 tbsp Onion Powder
  • 1 tbsp Smoked Paprika
  • 1 tsp Ground Cinnamon
  • 1 tbsp Kosher Salt
  • 1 tsp Freshly Cracked Black Pepper
  • 1 tsp Dried Lemon Peel

Instructions:

  1. Prep the herbs. Measure out the 3 tbsp Dried Greek Oregano and 1 tbsp Dried Marjoram. Note: Crushing them slightly between your palms as you drop them into the bowl wakes up the oils.
  2. Add the woodier notes. Stir in 1 tbsp Dried Thyme and 1 tsp crushed Rosemary. Wait until you smell the piney aroma before moving on.
  3. Incorporate the aromatics. Add the 2 tbsp Garlic Powder and 1 tbsp Onion Powder.
  4. Inject the color. Mix in 1 tbsp Smoked Paprika. Watch for the color to shift to a rich, sunset orange.
  5. Add the secret warmth. Sprinkle in 1 tsp Ground Cinnamon. Note: This small amount won't make it taste like dessert, trust me.
  6. Season the blend. Add 1 tbsp Kosher Salt and 1 tsp Freshly Cracked Black Pepper.
  7. Zest it up. Toss in the 1 tsp Dried Lemon Peel.
  8. Whisk thoroughly. Use a small whisk or fork to combine everything. Mix until no clumps of garlic powder remain and the color is uniform.
  9. Store properly. Transfer the blend into an airtight container.
  10. Label it. Don't forget to write the date on the jar so you know it's fresh.
