Equipment

  • Mixing bowl and/or storage container
  • Mixing spoon

Ingredients
  

  • 6 tbsp Paprika
  • 3 tbsp Onion Powder
  • 3 tbsp Garlic Powder
  • 1 ½  tbsp Black Pepper
  • 1 ½  tbsp White Pepper
  • ½  tbsp Cayenne Pepper
  • 5 ½ tbsp Italian Seasoning

Instructions
 

  • Gather all ingredients and a clean empty container or a small mixing bowl.
  • Add all ingredients to the bowl or the container.
  • Mix well.

Notes

  • You can adjust the amount of pepper spices per your preferences.
  • I used regular Paprika (the Aldi’s Stonemill brand which is sweet or Hungarian) but feel free to use smoked paprika or even hot paprika if you want a more spicy blend.
  • The Italian seasoning can be any brand as most brands are good. Just make sure there’s no salt added.
  • Store in plastic or glass airtight containers for short and long term storage. I reused an empty container that had Black Himalayan Salt previously.
