½ tsp Dried Thyme
½ tsp Ground Black Pepper
1 tsp Salt

Notes

For added depth and richness, consider mixing in ½ teaspoon of ground coriander or a pinch of ground cinnamon to complement the smokiness of the paprika.
Store the seasoning blend in an airtight glass spice jar or container, away from direct sunlight and moisture, to preserve its aroma and potency.
For best flavor, use within 6 months, although it can last up to a year if stored properly. Always label the jar with the date it was made.
