Welcome to what may be the easiest and simplest post I have ever written! That said, this Homemade Seasoned Salt Recipe may just change your kitchen game forever. I kid you, not!

For that salty, spiced, and savory taste you find in many restaurant foods and from top chefs, you need your own blend of secret seasoning on hand. Well, mine is a secret- no more! I am giving you the coveted ingredient in many of my savory dishes- like Savory Grilled Chicken, and Grilled Corn on the Cob.

This is so good on all your savory dishes, and it’s the perfect substitute for Seasoned Salt in any other recipe that calls for it. Think Lawry’s or McCormick, but mine is so much better for you!

Many of the dishes I have posted in the past list all the ingredients one-by-one in the recipes. But if you have this seasoned salt sitting on the counter in a canister or seasoning jar, you can save a lot of measuring and time. For instance, try sprinkling it on my Easy Roasted Vegetables or on top of your Perfect Grilled Burgers.

Oh, and you can use this salty mix for preparing your Sous Vide items too! When you sous-vide food that is well seasoned, the flavor will infuse into the meat or veggies. YUM!

WHY YOU’LL LOVE THIS RECIPE

Grilling Perfection– It will be your new go-to grill seasoning.
Super Simple-Make it in minutes with staple ingredients.
Versatility-It is easy to change this recipe a bit here and there to suit your taste.

Key Ingredients

Small white plate with dried spices on it. Spices: parsley, smoked paprika, garlic powder, paprika, salt, chili powder, pepper, and onion powder.

Everything here is really “key” to making the seasoning. However, I’ve listed a couple notes about the ingredients, and know that you can adjust amounts based on your preferences.

Himalayan Salt – This is pink salt and is found in the grocery store among the others. Himalayan salt is a sea salt and has extra minerals and elements that table salt does not, overall it’s a bit healthier, and more flavorful. You can use regular salt if you choose.
Garlic Powder- you want garlic powder, not garlic salt.
Smoked Paprika -has a smokey flavor to it that is wonderful. You can omit this or replace it with regular paprika if you like. Leaving it out will change the flavor profile.

Want to change it up a bit? Here are some suggestions!

Spice it up: If you like heat, add in some cayenne powder- just be careful and begin with a small amount and taste as you go. In my opinion it’s a little less versatile that way.

Want a salt-free version?: Great! Simply omit the salt or reduce the amount to make it less salty! The choice is yours.

Some like it sweet: To add a bit of sweetness, you can start with 1 teaspoon of brown sugar (or brown swerve for a zero calorie option), and adjust to your desired taste. If you are using a sugar substitute, check the conversion chart on the package.

Expert Tips

Use fresh spices– spices do last a long time, however if they are too old they lack in flavor.
An airtight container will help keep the mixture longer. I keep mine in a weck jar, but these jars with adjustable pour/shaker spouts is nice too!

Frequently Asked Questions

Are Seasoned Salt, Seasoning Salt, and Season-All the same things?

Yes and no! Seasoning and Seasoned are the same- salt and spice blends. But Season-All is referring to McCormick’s Season-All which includes chili pepper in the blend.

When a recipe calls for salt, can I use homemade seasoned salt instead?

Seasoned salt is a blend used to add to savory dishes. It has more depth of flavor than table salt. So, you can use it in savory dishes, but I would not substitute it for salt in your cake recipe.<3
