1-First, gather all your ingredients and measure them out accurately to get the balance just right. You’ll need the exact list we covered earlier, like 3 tablespoons of smoked paprika and 2 tablespoons of fine kosher salt.

2-Next, in a small bowl or spice jar, combine all the ingredients: 3 tablespoons smoked paprika, 2 tablespoons fine kosher salt, 2 tablespoons garlic powder, 1 tablespoon ground black pepper, 1 tablespoon ground white pepper, 1 tablespoon onion powder, 1 tablespoon dried oregano, 1/2 tablespoon cayenne pepper, and 1 tablespoon dried thyme.

3-Then, mix everything thoroughly with a spoon or whisk until the spices are evenly distributed. This step ensures each pinch you use has the perfect flavor.

4-After mixing, store the seasoning in a sealed container to keep it fresh for up to one year. Feel free to use it right away on proteins, vegetables, or snacks, and tweak the amounts based on your tastes or dietary needs.

5-Throughout the process, remember tips like omitting salt if you prefer to add it later or adjusting cayenne for your spice level. This makes the seasoning adaptable for grilling, roasting, or even stirring into dips.
