  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp salt
  • 1 tbsp accent seasoning
  • 1 tbsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tbsp cayenne pepper
  • 1 tbsp onion powder

Notes

  • Accent seasoning is a brand of monosodium glutamate (MSG) used to enhance umami flavor; omit if you prefer MSG-free seasoning.
  • Adjust cayenne pepper quantity according to your preferred spice level.
  • Use this seasoning as a dry rub or sprinkle on fries, chicken, or vegetables.
  • Make sure to shake or stir the seasoning before each use as some spices may settle over time.
