Notes

Notes:

To use on meats, marinate overnight for best flavor.

Storing Shawarma Seasoning Mix:

For best taste and freshness, this shawarma mix can be stored for up to 6 months. Store spices in an airtight container away from any heat. The best way to store a little or big batch is to label and date it. Always store spices in a cool dry place.

Helpful tips

This recipe is good for one pound of meat.
Since this is a dry rub, if you're going to use for beef shawarma or a chicken shawarma recipe, be sure to use olive or avocado oil for best results.
Try with various spices to make it your own.
Do not add salt to this spice mixture. Add salt later to the finished dish.
