Seasoned Salt is one of the most common pantry staples. But it can be kinda expensive to buy. Don’t worry it is so easy to make and use. Once you start making it you’ll wonder why you ever purchased it pre-made before! Homemade seasoned salt is a delicious, flavorful, homemade version of seasoned salt mix. It is a mix of sea salt, paprika, turmeric, and a few other herbs.
Homemade Seasoned Salt

Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup fine sea salt
- 1/4 cup white sugar
- 1 tsp turmeric
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 2 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp cornstarch
Directions:
- Combine all ingredients in a jar with a tight lid.
- Shake until well mixed.
- Store in a cool dry place.
Makes a little more than 7/8 cup or about 14 TBSP

To use:
Use 1-2 teaspoons per pound of meat.
While homemade seasoned salt is perfect for making hamburgers, it is also great for seasoning chicken and pork too. I use my seasoned salt on everything from hamburgers and meatloaf to chicken breasts and pork chops.
By making your own seasoning you can use high quality ingredients while still making a seasoning that cost less than buying pre-made. It also allows you to eliminated any ingredients that you don’t like and gives you total control over the spiciness of the seasoning.
Have a great day!
