Dried Basil: I absolutely love the fresh taste that basil adds to the seasoning. Dried Rosemary: I make sure to use crushed rosemary.

Garlic Powder: This is a must in this seasoning! Chili Powder: The chili powder is enough to add flavor but not any heat. Paprika: Paprika always brings in a unique, sweet flavor. Dried Parsley: This adds a beautiful color and taste. Black Pepper: The black pepper marries beautifully with all of the other seasonings.

Adjust the heat: If you would like to spice up your seasoning, add a bit of cayenne pepper. Use more if you want it spicier! Dried Ingredients: You need dried ingredients to make homemade spices! Normally, I am a fresh-is-best person, but not when it comes to seasonings! Using dried ingredients is what you use to make this have the right ratio of flavor and to make it last a long time. Less salt: If you find it a tad too salty, reduce the salt a bit.
