For a smoky dimension, consider using smoked paprika in place of sweet paprika. Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper to suit your preferred level of heat. This rub is also fantastic on roasted vegetables, adding a delightful complexity of flavors. Experiment with different types of salt, such as kosher salt or Himalayan pink salt, to subtly alter the overall taste profile. For optimal flavor infusion, generously apply the rub to your meat at least 30 minutes before cooking. For even deeper penetration, marinate overnight in the refrigerator.

Feb 25, 2025I found the rub to be a little too salty for my taste. I would suggest reducing the amount of salt by half.
