- Use smoked paprika for a deeper smoky flavor.
- Reduce the salt for a lower-sodium blend.
- Add dried parsley or thyme for an herb-forward seasoning.
- Increase brown sugar slightly for a sweeter crust on grilled meats.
- This seasoning also works well on chicken, burgers, roasted potatoes, and vegetables.
- Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place for up to 6 months.
- Cornstarch helps prevent clumping in the spice blend.
