Tips & Substitutions
For a more intense flavor, consider toasting the dried thyme leaves before adding them to the mix. If you don't have onion powder, finely minced fresh onion can be substituted, though it may alter the shelf life. You can also adjust the paprika for heat; smoked paprika adds a nice depth. This blend works wonderfully in vegan recipes, enhancing dishes without added salt.
