Camping Seasoning Mix

Stop buying those overpriced seasoning packets with ingredient lists you can’t pronounce.

This six-ingredient camping seasoning mix takes five minutes to throw together and works on literally everything: grilled fish, scrambled eggs, campfire potatoes, roasted corn, you name it.

Paprika brings color and warmth, garlic and onion powder deliver savory punch, and the cayenne adds just enough bite to wake up your taste buds.

Toss it in a ziplock bag or a small screw-top container and it’ll last the whole trip.

Kitchen Tips

• Scale it up. Double or triple the batch and keep a jar at home too. It works just as well in your kitchen as it does at camp.
• Adjust the cayenne to your crew. Half a teaspoon gives a mild kick. Bump it up if your group likes heat, or dial it back for the kids.
• Sprinkle it on before and after cooking. A dusting before the grill gives you crust, a pinch after serves as a finishing touch.
