Sprinkle this blend generously over vegetables before roasting them in the oven. It can also be rubbed onto chicken, pork, or beef before grilling or pan-searing to create a flavorful crust.

The specific combination aims for a well-rounded savory taste that is distinct from other blends.

How to keep the rest
To maintain its freshness and potency, store the remaining blend in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure the container is tightly sealed after each use. This will help preserve the aromatic qualities of the herbs and spices for future cooking.
