Description

A perfect homemade version of the classic all-purpose seasoning blend — savory, slightly sweet, and ready in 5 minutes with pantry spices.

Ingredients 

  • 4 tablespoons fine sea salt, or table salt
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon onion powder
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • 2 teaspoons ground celery seed
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon ground turmeric

Instructions

  • Combine ingredients. Add all the spices to a small mixing bowl: salt, sugar, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, ground celery seed, black pepper, and turmeric.
  • Whisk thoroughly. Using a small whisk or fork, mix the spices until completely combined. The color should be uniform with no streaks of paprika or turmeric.
  • Transfer to a jar. Using a small funnel, pour the seasoning into a clean, dry 4-ounce spice jar or small mason jar with a tight-fitting lid.
  • Label and store. Label the jar with the contents and the date. Store in a cool, dry place away from heat and direct sunlight.
  • Use generously. Sprinkle on eggs, meats, vegetables, popcorn, baked potatoes, soups, salads, and anything else that needs a flavor boost.

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Whisk

Notes

Notes

  • Celery seed is essential. It's the defining flavor of this blend. Grind whole celery seed in a spice grinder for the best texture, or buy it pre-ground.
  • Storage: Keeps fresh for up to 6 months in an airtight container in a cool, dark place.
  • Anti-clumping tip: In humid climates, add 4–5 grains of uncooked rice to the jar to absorb moisture.
  • Make it your own: Try the variations listed in the post above — low-sodium, spicy, smoky, or herby.
  • Gift-worthy: Doubles or triples easily and makes a wonderful homemade gift in a pretty jar with a ribbon.
