Ingredients

3 tablespoons maple sugar
1 tablespoon light brown sugar packed
1 tablespoon garlic powder
2 teaspoons kosher salt optional
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon dried chives or green onion
¾ teaspoon black pepper or white pepper
¼ teaspoon smoked paprika optional, but recommended for depth

Instructions

Add all ingredients to a small bowl. Mix thoroughly until evenly combined and no clumps remain. Taste and adjust flavorings if desired. Transfer to an airtight spice jar.

Notes

Yield: About ½ cup seasoning, and a serving size is typically about ¼ teaspoon

I like to mix the spices together on a piece of parchment paper. This makes it easy to pick the paper up and use it like a funnel to pour into the storage jar.

Adjust to your liking:
More maple sugar for sweetness
More garlic if you want it bolder
Leave the salt out entirely
More salt for a stronger savory punch

Store in an airtight container for up to 6 months. Keep away from heat and humidity (maple sugar can harden).
