Servings: 3 servings
Calories: 62kcal
Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp chili powder see note 5
- 4 tsp garlic powder equal to 1 Tbsp + 1 tsp
- 1 Tbsp ground cumin
- 2 tsp smoked paprika see note 4
- 2 tsp paprika regular sweet paprika
- 2 tsp onion powder
- 2 tsp packed light brown sugar
- 1 tsp medium or coarse ground black pepper if using finely ground, use 1/2 tsp
- 1 tsp kosher salt if using table salt, reduce slightly
- 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper or to taste
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to a small bowl and stir to combine.
- Store in an airtight container in a cool dry place for up to 6 months.
Notes
- Recipe makes approximately 8 Tbsp, which is equal to approximately 1/2 cup.
- A typical amount used for 1 - 1.5 lbs of protein is 2 1/2 Tbsp, so this recipe would make 3 servings, with a little leftover.
- Recipe can easily be doubled, tripled, or even halved for a smaller batch.
- If you don't have smoked paprika, and don't want to pick up a jar, you can just omit it, or use additional regular paprika.
- As a note to my readers outside of the United States, American chili powder is a blend of many spices, including cayenne pepper, but it isn't all that spicy. Non-American chili powder can be straight up ground chile peppers and are MUCH spicier. For this recipe, make sure you're using American chili powder, otherwise it will be insanely spicy.
