A great all-purpose garlic herb seasoning blend. Use it in soups, savory crackers and crusts, salad dressings or as a rub for grilled meats.
This is a fantastic all-purpose seasoning blend that I use for everything. I keep a jar of it in the cupboard to use any time a recipe needs a little something extra. It's delicious as a poultry seasoning and makes for the best roast chicken.
It also makes a great garlic herb dry rub for chicken and pork for grilling, baking and for seasoning bread crumbs.
I originally developed this garlic herb seasoning to flavor my chicken and turkey soups. Since then, it's found itself into several recipes like low carb herbed crackers, savory low carb quiche dough, salad dressings, delicious chicken marsala and even garlic Parmesan chicken wings.
EASY TO MAKE
No weird ingredients here... just herbs and spices most people already have in the pantry: salt, pepper, rosemary, thyme, marjoram, onion powder, garlic powder and lemon pepper. Since some lemon pepper brands are saltier than others, you may want to use less salt until you taste the seasoning.
I found that chopping the dried rosemary or working it in a mortar with a pestle made for a more homogenous blend - the pieces were more uniform.
That't it.

i accidentally came upon the herb spice recipe under a chicken appetizer recipe over a year ago. Lost the recipe and have been searching ever since to replenish my supply. I have given it away as gifts it is so delicious. We use it on everything from eggs to soups and of course almost every meat and potato dish. Makes everything special with a hint of savory. Delish.

How much of the seasoning do you mix with how much oil??
Kim

Just make sure to read the ingredients if you buy lemon pepper or garlic pepper seasoning mix - I've been finding them with sugar and brown sugar added to them. Sigh. I was even more shocked when I found sugar in canned kidney beans. It's getting harder and harder to find groceries in the supermarket that don't have added sugar.

I hear you, April. Thanks for the reminder. Happy New Year! -Kim

Kim, Thanks for your recipes. I'm undertaking a low glycemic load diet. I'm betting I will be here in the future.
Kim
Jean, you are so welcome. It brings me pleasure to share what I'm making at home. Good luck with your low glycemic load diet! -Kim

There are online recipes for lemon pepper as well. I know your frustration with commercial foods. I am gluten sensitive and even make my own chili powder. Checking my kidney beans now. Whew!! They're still pretty high in sodium though. I've been starting to cook my own dry beans. Here in Canada, some of our canned foods still have BPA liners. I'm a grandma now. Didn't figure I'd need my pressure canner anymore. It's so much easier to pressure can beans then the long times of cooking them.

Thanks Jean. Good tip, I'll look for the lemon pepper recipes. Thanks for taking the time to comment! Have a nice weekend. -Kim
