Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml / 0.5 fl oz) chili powder
  • 1 ½ teaspoons / 7.5 ml (0.3 fl oz) ground cumin
  • 1 ¼ teaspoons / 6.25 ml (0.2 fl oz) sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon (5 ml / 0.2 fl oz) chicken bouillon granules, or 1 chicken bouillon cube, crushed
  • 1 teaspoon (5 ml / 0.2 fl oz) smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon (5 ml / 0.2 fl oz) garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon (5 ml / 0.2 fl oz) onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon (2.5 ml / 0.1 fl oz) dried oregano leaves
  • ½ teaspoon (2.5 ml / 0.1 fl oz) granular erythritol (optional)
  • ¼ teaspoon (1.25 ml / 0 fl oz) cayenne pepper
  • Use one full batch of this recipe (about 3 ½ tablespoons) to perfectly season 1 pound (454 g / 16 oz) of protein or vegetables.
  • Double or triple the recipe and store it in a large airtight jar so you always have it ready for quick meals.
  • Easily adjust the spice level by increasing the cayenne pepper for more heat or omitting it entirely for a mild version.
  • For a deeper, nuttier flavor, toast whole cumin seeds in a dry skillet for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, then grind them before adding to the mix.
