Southern Smoke

Southern Smoke is a bold, slow-building seasoning that layers deep smoke, warm spice, and savory aromatics for that backyard barbecue flavor without the meat. It leans into classic Southern cookout vibes, think smoked paprika, chile heat, garlic, onion, and a kiss of sweetness, built to make vegetables, tofu, and grains eat like they just came off the pit.

Chef tip

Southern Smoke hits hardest when you let it ride the heat. Rub or toss it on with a little oil before roasting or grilling so the spices toast and the smoke blooms instead of staying flat and dusty.
Then finish with a light sprinkle at the end for aroma and color so when the plate hits the table, it smells like you’ve had a smoker running out back all day.
