Homemade seasoning blends like this all-purpose seasoning recipe can help you get dinner on the table while keeping it quick, easy, and interesting.

Simply toss it on vegetables before roasting or sprinkle it on chicken or shrimp before grilling to level up your dishes instantly.

You can have several different blends on hand, for use on any occasion and I always do. Try my Italian seasoning or Greek seasoning for burgers or meatballs. My taco seasoning or southwest seasoning are great for taco salad or grilled chicken skewers. Or make fajitas with this salt-free fajita seasoning.

Also, if you haven't tried it, toss my ranch seasoning mix on potatoes for easy flavorful air fryer ranch potatoes for an easy side dish!

Mix up a batch of this everyday seasoning blend and keep it in your pantry to spice up your dinner prep. This seasoning mix is made with a blend of a few common spices.

This mix is definitely one you'll want to keep on hand because you can use it in so many different ways. I've sprinkled this on my Sheet Pan Roasted Vegetables, on baked chicken breasts, in a burger mixture, and in a bread crumb mix for chicken strips.

This mix would be good on a grilled steak or shrimp also and it's great on roasted potatoes.

What is in an all-purpose seasoning mix?

This everyday seasoning is a mix of onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, dried parsley, and ground black pepper.

I've kept this spice mix simple because it doesn't take much time to make and is so versatile.

What about salt?

I don't add salt to my seasoning mixes, because I like to control the salt for each dish, regardless of how much seasoning I want to use in that dish.

Instructions

Mix dried spices together in a mixing bowl.

Transfer to a container with a lid and store in a cool dark place.

Tips for making all-purpose seasoning

  • Double or triple the batch!
  • Add your favorite spices in to switch it up a bit. You could add in a teaspoon of dried oregano. Use smoked paprika instead or add some red pepper flakes for a spicier seasoning mix.

What to use every day seasoning for

Use this all-purpose mix on roasted potatoes, burgers, meatball mixes, grilled or air fried chicken, grilled shrimp, or to add flavor to baked French fries.
