Want to know the secret to delicious food? The answer is… seasonings! This post will help you make 5 delicious and easy flavoured salt recipes.
Cooking from scratch can seem overwhelming at times and can turn out severely under flavoured if you are not careful. Pre-made seasoning mixes can be tasty but they are also hard on your wallet and are filled with preservatives.
These flavoured salt recipes are incredible and add so much life to your food. Whether you are in the mood for salty, spicy or straight up amazing, these seasoned salt recipes have got you covered.
As a wife and mother, I know how hard it can be to make food that the family will enjoy. These recipes are so good, they make anything taste amazing. (Just today, my kiddos requested a little of the seasoning salt on their vegetables and they ate the whole plate!! That is a HUGE win!)
In this post you will learn how to make seasoning salt, garlic salt, onion salt, basil salt and sriracha salt. Buckle up! We are diving right in.
This post is all about flavoured salt recipes.
5 Flavoured Salt Recipes That Make Everything Better
1. All Purpose Seasoning Salt
Instructions:
Mix all of the ingredients in a small spice jar and give it a good shake. I didn’t have a problem with it sticking or clumping but if you are finding it is, you can add 1/2 tsp cornstarch and it should help.
This seasoning salt is amazing on just about anything but some uses I have found for it are:
- On eggs to add some flavour!
- Sprinkled lightly on raw (or cooked) vegetables to bring out the sweet and savoury flavours.
- On potatoes of every variety (I’m talking mashed, baked, fries or tots.) You name it, it will probably be good.
- Any type of meat. I know this is broad, but this is a delicious, all purpose seasoning mix.
2. Garlic Salt
Ingredients:
3 Tbsp Fine Ground Salt (I used Himalayan)
Instructions:
Combine the salt and garlic powder into a a small spice jar and give it a light shake. It is ready to use! So simple and easy!
How to use this garlic salt:
- Much like the seasoning salt we made above, this would be good on eggs, any sort of meat, potatoes or as an extra seasoning in tacos, chilli, shepherds pie etc. My favourite way to use it is in my garlic mayo recipe. That thing is deadly! (Recipe to come!)
3. Onion Salt
Ingredients:
3 Tbsp Fine Ground Salt (I used Himalayan)
Instructions:
Combine the salt and onion powder into a a small spice jar and give it a light shake. It is ready to use! So simple and easy!
Ideas to use this onion salt:
- This onion salt could be used in a variety of ways to “spice” up any recipe. I use it on eggs, to season meatballs, and in butter when I am feeling fancy.
4. Basil Salt
Ingredients:
1/8 Cup Packed Fresh Basil
1/3 Cup Fine Ground Salt (I used Himalayan)
Instructions:
- Combine the coarse salt and the fresh basil in a mini food processor. Blend until it is fully combined and resembles a wet sand.
- When it is a wet sand texture, add the fine salt and blitz to combine.
- Spread it out on a baking tray lined with parchment paper and let it air dry for a couple hours until it is completely dry.
- When it is dry, add it to a small spice jar. It should be good for up to a year if sealed airtight!
How can you use basil salt?
- To top fish or chicken.
- Once again, to add a delightful touch to eggs.
- As a topping to spaghetti or any other Italian inspired dish.
5. Sriracha Salt
Ingredients:
1/3 Cup Fine Ground Salt (I used Himalayan)
Instructions:
- Combine the salt and sriracha in a bowl until it resembled wet sand.
- Spread it out on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
- Bake in the oven at 350 for 5-7 minutes, stirring every 1-2 minutes and monitoring closely. It is very easy to burn.
- Let it cool completely and then store it in an airtight container, such as these mason jars.
- If there are any large clumps, you can toss it into a food processor to make it fine again.
Different ways to use sriracha salt
- As a topping for a sushi bowl
- I am a broken record but it tastes so good on eggs!
- As a topping for popcorn.
- As a finish on ramen noodles.
