Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 0.25 cup dried onion flakes
  • 2 tbsp sodium-free beef bouillon granules
  • 0.25 tsp onion powder
  • 0.25 tsp dried parsley flakes
  • 0.125 tsp celery seed
  • 0.125 tsp paprika
  • 0.125 tsp ground black pepper

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Measuring spoons and cups
  • Airtight container (jar or plastic container)
  • Spice grinder or mini food processor (optional)

Method
 

  1. Measure all ingredients accurately and gather them into a mixing bowl. This ensures balanced flavor and consistency in your homemade mix.
  2. Thoroughly combine all the ingredients in a bowl or sealed container. Mix well to ensure even distribution of spices and bouillon.
  3. Optional: For a finer texture, pulse mixture in a spice grinder or food processor briefly, breaking down flakes slightly without over-processing.
  4. Transfer mix to an airtight container such as a spice jar or glass jar with lid. Label with date and store in a cool, dry place for up to 6 months.

Notes

Use sodium-free beef bouillon for full control over salt. Pulse ingredients in a spice grinder for a finer blend if desired. Add cornstarch in larger batches to prevent clumping. Label and date your container to track freshness.
