ℹ️ Introduction

My homemade seasoning blend is so versatile that you can sprinkle it on just about anything! This is the most common seasoning mix that I use for air fryer or oven roasted vegetables.

This all-purpose seasoning can be used to quickly boost the flavor of crispy roasted potatoes, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, pork chops, salmon, and more.

And because this recipe makes a big batch, you can keep the seasonings on hand for whenever you’re in the mood for roasted vegetables or meats.

❤️ WHY YOU SHOULD TRY THIS HOMEMADE ROASTING SEASONING RECIPE

  • You can customize the flavors by adding more or less of any of the individual spices.
  • You can make it spicy by adding cayenne pepper or crushed red pepper flakes.
  • Because this spice mix is homemade, you can avoid the preservatives and additives in store-bought versions.
  • It’s more budget-friendly to make your own spice mix than buy it.

💡 Tips for the Best Roasted Vegetable Seasoning


  • Feel free to adjust the quantities of spice based on your tastes. If you like the flavor of one spice, e.g., smoked or sweet paprika, add a little extra.
  • Add spices such as dried rosemary, thyme, basil, and parsley for more of a Mediterranean flavor like Italian seasoning.
  • Keep this spice mix in an airtight container in a cool, dry location to retain freshness.

❓ FAQS

I use about 1.5 teaspoons of spice for each pound of vegetables. Use olive oil for best results.

Yes, use it as a dry rub when grilling chicken or veggies.
