Vegan Chicken Seasoning (Nutritional-Yeast-Free)

Chicken-style seasoning can add a lovely flavor to rice, vegetables, soups, casseroles, or gravy. But many seasonings of this type contain hydrolyzed soy protein, sugar, maltodextrin, nutritional yeast, and other harmful ingredients. Here’s a healthy version that you can easily make at home.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons granulated onion
  • 2 tablespoons dried parsley
  • 1 tablespoon dried basil
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 2 teaspoons celery salt
  • 1 teaspoon granulated garlic
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried rubbed sage
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried dill weed
  • 1/4 teaspoon sweet paprika (optional)

Instructions

  • Place all ingredients in a coffee grinder or blender. Blend until all ingredients are slightly ground.
  • Store in an airtight container in a dry, cool place.

Notes

1. Most commercially-available chicken-style seasoning and homemade chicken-style seasoning contain either nutritional yeast or another ingredient that gives it umami flavor that somewhat mimics chicken flavor. I have found that adding a tiny bit of tahini (and sometimes a little squeeze of lemon) along with this homemade Vegan Chicken Seasoning lends some of that umami flavor without the nutritional yeast.
2. If you live in a humid environment, you may want to add a desiccant pack to your seasoning container, otherwise the mixture may absorb moisture and become clumpy.
