Homemade Greek Seasoning Recipe

So what’s the deal with spices and gluten?

While individual spices (you know, single spices like paprika or dried herbs like parsley) are naturally gluten-free, many become cross-contaminated with gluten during the manufacturing process. 

This is due to processing on equipment shared with gluten-containing items.  Honestly—we’ve had black pepper that states a “manufactured on equipment with wheat.” ugh.

In addition, seasoning blends often use gluten-containing ingredients (such as wheat flour) as a binder or a thickener in their blend.

You have two solutions to gluten free seasoning blends:

1. Buy premade gluten free seasoning blends
2. Make your own seasoning blends (such as this burger seasoning recipe) using gluten free basic spices

I love my homemade Greek Seasoning blend, and I know you'll love it too!

What spices and seasonings are gluten-free?

Many companies have gluten-free claims on their ingredients and seasoning blends including, but not limited to:

• Badia Seasonings (individual spices & seasoning blends)—these are actually certified gluten-free, so there’s an extra level of safety & comfort here!  They also are very cost-effective and can be purchased on Amazon or in your neighborhood grocery store.

• McCormick (individual spices, some seasoning blends marked ‘gluten-free’)—While McCormick’s individual spices are gluten-free, the majority of their seasoning mixes CONTAIN GLUTEN!  Look for the packets labeled “gluten-free.”
• Penzeys Spices (individual spices & seasoning blends)—Penzy’s spices are high quality and they have so many creative and interesting spice blends.  Penzy’s spices can be purchased on Amazon, at Penzy’s retail stores, and their website.
• Primal Palate (individual spices & seasoning blends)—these spices are great and their seasoning blends do not contain artificial fillers.  These are available at Amazon and are also discounted on Thrive Market.
• Spiceology (seasoning blends)—Spiceology’s seasoning blends are flavor explosions!  They are a bit difficult to find at brick and mortar stores, but are available at Amazon and some blends are discounted on Thrive Market.

Back to the homemade Greek seasoning recipe!

To make this homemade Greek seasoning, all you need is a couple different basic spices—many of which you probably already have in your pantry!  Just make sure the spices themselves are gluten-free.

I like to make it in bulk and store it in a spice jar (or mason jar if I really make a lot!) so I have it ready for super quick cooking!

This gluten-free Greek seasoning blend is so versatile.  I use it to make salad dressing for easy Greek salad.  I marinate chicken with it, drizzle it on roasted vegetables.
