Once you make homemade ranch seasoning, you may never go back to the packet again. It’s quick to whip up and endlessly versatile, you’ll want to sprinkle it on everything.

Why Make Your Own Ranch Seasoning?


Sure, you can buy pre made spice blends, but here is why you should be making your own:

  • Saves money in the long run

  • Avoids unnecessary additives

  • Lets you tweak the flavor to suit your family

  • Tastes way better than store-bought


Sprinkle It On:

  • Roasted potatoes or fries

  • Popcorn

  • Chicken tenders

  • Baked veggies

  • Pasta salad or potato salad

  • Air-fried anything!

I like to keep a jar of this on hand at all times. Print a cute label, jot down mixing instructions, and keep it in your spice drawer or pantry. It makes a great DIY gift, too!
