Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Measure Your Ingredients

Get all your spices ready. Using measuring spoons helps you stay precise and keep flavors balanced.

2. Mix It Up

In a small bowl, combine paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, parsley, and sugar.
Use a spoon or a mini whisk to stir everything together until evenly blended.
Tip: If you want a superfine seasoning, you can pulse everything together in a spice grinder for a few seconds.

3. Taste and Adjust

Take a pinch and taste!
  • Want it spicier? Add a little more cayenne.
  • Want it sweeter? Add a pinch more sugar.

4. Use or Store

  • Sprinkle generously over fresh, hot fries.
  • If saving for later, pour into an airtight spice jar or container.
  • Shake the jar before each use to keep flavors even.
