How to Make Sazon Seasoned Salt

  1. Heat a small, dry skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon cumin seeds, 1 teaspoon black peppercorns, and 1/2 teaspoon white peppercorns.
  2. Toast the spices for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant and lightly browned. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
  3. Remove from heat and transfer the toasted spices to a small bowl to cool completely.
  4. Once cool, grind the spices into a fine powder using a spice grinder, mortar and pestle, or a clean coffee grinder.
  5. In a medium bowl, combine the ground spices with 1/2 cup sea salt (or kosher salt), 2 tablespoons garlic powder, and 1 tablespoon dried oregano. Mix thoroughly.
  6. Store your homemade Sazón Seasoned Salt in an airtight container in a cool, dark place. This will keep for several months.
