Seasoning Mix Variations and Add-ins
- Add some heat: Add a pinch of cayenne pepper, red pepper flakes, black pepper, or a touch of chili powder if you want to add a kick of heat.
- Celery seeds: If you like the flavor of celery salt, you can add celery seeds to a spice grinder and add some to your blend.
- Dried mustard powder: If you’re using this blend of salt as a rub for ribs or chicken breasts, adding a small pinch of dried mustard gives it a hint of tanginess.
- Smoked salt: Instead of using regular table salt, give the seasoning an extra smoky flavor by using smoked sea salt.
- Cumin: I like to make an extra spice jar of this seasoning and add a pinch of ground cumin to it. It adds a wonderful savory taste to Mexican recipes.

Recipe FAQs
Keep your homemade seasoning blends in a cool dry place, away from any type of heat source or direct light. Make sure they are labeled and kept in an airtight container with a lid, like a mason jar.
Sure! The sugar adds a balance to the savory flavor profile. But you can reduce the sugar, omit it or use a sugar substitute of your choice. That’s the great thing about making your own version of homemade spices.
