A good all purpose seasoning blend lends the right amount of flavor to savory dishes and it comes together in a snap. This simple mix of spices and seasonings is easily prepped and stored for future recipes.
Why this recipe works
All purpose seasoning lives up to its name. It’s a blend of flavorful spices and herbs that elevate your meals with a quick shake. This mix pairs extremely well with a wide variety of dishes from seafood, pork, beef, poultry, and even vegetables. Keep this seasoning blend tucked safely in your spice cabinet to grab and dash in a snap of a finger.
So, why make your own seasoning blends? Making homemade seasoning blends saves you a lot of money and time. We keep our cabinet stocked with homemade variations of cajun seasoning, taco seasoning, chili seasoning, and all purpose seasoning as those are the ones we reach for the most. Plus, making them from scratch means you can customize the ingredients to your preference.

Ingredient Info and Substitution Suggestions
SPICES – Garlic powder, onion powder, dried minced garlic, dried minced onion, chili powder, paprika, mustard powder, dried parsley, and Kosher salt are the powerhouses behind this flavorful blend. The beauty of this all purple seasoning mix is that it’s a starter. You can adjust the levels of spices according to your taste or even sub-in or out ingredients as you see fit. We don’t use a lot of salt in this mix, but you can increase that as well if you like. For a spicier mix, add in cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes.
