How to Make Dry Rub

  1. In a small bowl, combine paprika, brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, black pepper, salt, and cayenne pepper (if using).
  2. Mix thoroughly until all spices are evenly distributed.
  3. Generously rub the spice mixture onto your meat or vegetables, ensuring all surfaces are coated.
  4. For best results, let the rub sit on the meat for at least 30 minutes before cooking to allow the flavors to penetrate. (This step is optional, but recommended)
  5. Cook your meat or vegetables according to your preferred method (grilling, roasting, smoking, etc.).
