Preparation
  1. Measure the spices: Add all spices to a small bowl or jar.
  2. Mix well: Stir or shake until everything is evenly combined and no clumps remain.

Notes

For mild seasoning, use ½ teaspoon cayenne or skip it. For smoky flavor, use smoked paprika instead of regular paprika. Fresh spices matter for the best flavor.
