Minimalist Spices: What I use on a regular basis

June 18th, 2012 by everydayminimalist

For me, I used to have a HUGE spice rack filled with every spice imaginable.

Did I use any of them except garlic and onion powder? Not really.

These days, I’ve gotten rid of said spice rack and I’ve focused on what I actually do use.

My list of dried spices

Salt

OK, so it’s considered a staple in cooking, but I do like using a bit of salt here and there

Black Pepper

Not pre-ground, I like to crack my own black pepper for the best flavour (yes it has flavour!) and heat

Garlic Powder

It makes everything taste slightly better. More garlicky than fresh garlic, if you can believe this.

Cumin

Very tasty but I use it in small doses, nothing crazy.

Paprika

I don’t get much flavour from paprika, but I get enough to use it on occasion

I don’t use much of anything else when I cook. Dried spices are great, but I just don’t tend to use them very much.

This is not a dried spice thing, but I use a lot of fresh herbs, oils and condiments.

Rosemary
