Homemade Sazón
Homemade sazón is the perfect way to bring bold, authentic Latin American flavors to your kitchen.
While store-bought options are convenient, making it yourself guarantees a blend completely free of preservatives and additives.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons ground achiote or sweet paprika
- 1 tablespoon ground cumin
- 1 tablespoon ground coriander
- 1 tablespoon granulated garlic
- 1 tablespoon granulated onion
- 1 tablespoon dried oregano
- 1 tablespoon dried parsley
- ½ teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1 tablespoon fine sea salt or kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
- Combine the spices: In a bowl, mix all the ingredients until well combined.
- Store the seasoning: Transfer the sazón to an airtight container and store it in a cool, dark place.

Notes
Storage
Store your sazón in an airtight container in a cool, dark place. Use within six months and shake before each use to keep the spices evenly mixed.
