Ingredients

▢ 3 Tablespoons annatto (ground)
▢ 2 Tablespoons garlic powder
▢ 2 Tablespoons cumin
▢ 2 Tablespoons coriander powder
▢ 1 Tablespoon oregano (ground)
▢ ¼ teaspoon turmeric powder

Instructions

If you have any coarse ingredients, use a coffee grinder or mortar and pestle to finely grind the coarse ingredients into a powder.
Whisk ingredients in a large bowl and funnel sazon seasoning into an airtight container.

Notes

Store sazon seasoning in an airtight container, away from direct heat or light.
Your sazon should last 3-6 months.
- The fresher the ingredients, the longer the seasoning will last.
- Your nose knows! Sniff your sazon seasoning; it should smell fresh -this will let you know best if the sazon blend is still new.
Shake your sazon seasoning before using it, as settling can occur.
Always use a dry spoon for removing sazon, as a wet spoon will dampen and make the sazon seasoning hard and clumpy.
