To use, simply sprinkle the seasoning generously over your main ingredient. For ground meat, add it during the last few minutes of cooking and stir to combine. When seasoning vegetables or proteins for roasting, toss them with the blend before placing them in the oven. You can also mix it into sour cream, yogurt, or mayonnaise to create a zesty dip or sauce. For a more intense flavor, allow the seasoned food to marinate for a short period before cooking.
How it differs from similar foods
