Seasoned Salt
This homemade seasoned salt is simple to make and healthier than the store-bought stuff. It adds instant flavour, colour, and depth to just about anything you’re cooking. Made with sea salt, paprika, garlic, onion, and a few gentle spices, this blend hits that perfect balance of savoury, smoky, and slightly sweet. You can use it in place of regular salt whenever you want a little extra something without pulling out ten different spice jars. 🍗 Where to Use It Chicken, beef, or fish: Sprinkle before cooking or use in marinades, coating mixes, or glazes. Roasted vegetables or potatoes: Toss with oil and a generous shake of seasoned salt before roasting. Eggs or tofu: A quick dusting over scrambled eggs or crispy tofu transforms both. Soups, stews, and sauces: Add a pinch to deepen the flavour instantly. Snacks: Sprinkle over popcorn, fries, or nuts for a savoury kick. This blend keeps well for months, and you can easily adjust the salt level depending on your taste or dietary needs (see the reduced-sodium version below). Once you start using it, you’ll find it’s one of those staples that quietly makes everything taste better.
