All-Purpose Seasoning Tips

Like the name suggests, an all-purpose seasoning mix is a go-to seasoning for meat, seafood, potatoes and rice dishes. Making your own seasoning mix allows you to add or subtract flavors or salt according to your preference or dietary needs.

What is the best all-purpose seasoning?

When a recipe calls for all-purpose seasoning or seasoned salt, cooks can confidently reach for Lawry’s when they don’t want to make their own.

What can I use all-purpose seasoning for?

Sprinkle your all-purpose seasoning mix on meat, seafood or potatoes before roasting or grilling to kick up the flavor. You can also toss your next bowl of fresh-popped popcorn with a half teaspoon of all-purpose seasoning to elevate a simple snack. When a recipe like Easy Seasoned Potato Wedges calls for all-purpose seasoning or seasoned salt, substitute your homemade mix.
