Servings:

Ingredients

1/4 cup paprika
1/4 cup smoked paprika
4 tsp fine sea salt*
4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
4 tsp garlic powder
4 tsp onion powder
2 tsp cayenne pepper**
2 tsp dried thyme
2 tsp dried oregano

Instructions

Mix all of the ingredients together in a small bowl until well-combined.
Store in an airtight jar in a cool, dry place for up to 1 year.

Notes

*For a salt-free version, just omit the salt.

**This amount of cayenne gives you the perfect medium spice level. For just a hint of spice (mild spice), use 1 tsp cayenne. For spicy, use 3 tsp cayenne. For no spice, omit the cayenne altogether. This no-spice version is perfect for kids or if you are very sensitive to spice. Adjust to your taste preferences.

For even more spice, consider adding in some dried tabasco pepper! It will give you a different kind of spice to really kick it up a notch!
