Ingredients
- 1 cup nutritional yeast adds a flavor profile that is a rich, umami flavor
- 1 tablespoons sea or kosher salt or less, if you prefer a lower-sodium version
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon dried parsley
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon ground turmeric for color and extra health benefits
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon celery seed
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
Instructions
- Gather and Measure Ingredients - Start by measuring out all of your spices and seasonings. Having everything prepped and ready makes the process seamless.
- Blend Everything -Combine all dry ingredients using a high-speed blender, a food processor, or a spice grinder. Blend until everything turns into a fine powder. This helps ensure that all the flavors mix evenly.
- Store in an Airtight Container - Transfer your homemade seasoning mix into an airtight, wide-mouth jar (such as a mason jar) or spice container. These are my favorites. Store it in a cool, dry place like your spice cabinet or pantry. To ensure freshness and eliminate any moisture, put an oxygen absorber in the jar and use a vacuum sealer for jars to seal the jar. Always test the lid to make sure you have a sealed jar.
- Use as Needed- To use your homemade chicken bouillon powder, dissolve 1 Tablespoon of the mixture in 1 cup of hot water to create a flavorful broth. Use this as a chicken broth substitute for any recipe that calls for chicken broth. You can also sprinkle it directly into recipes for added depth and richness.
