Notes
Nutrition facts are for the ½ teaspoon each. This spice blend makes about ¼ cup.
Chili Powder: Use American chili powder, as some European blends are actually quite a bit spicier.
Smoked paprika is highly recommended for an additional smoky flavor, but traditional paprika can be used.
Control The Heat: Increase, decrease, or omit cayenne to control spice level.
Sodium: To significantly reduce the sodium even further you can completely omit the salt or cut in half to significantly reduce the sodium.
