Moroccan Spice Mix
I’m a huge fan of this blend of spices called Moroccan Spice Mix, although truthfully I don’t know how authentically Moroccan it is. This is a great idea to give away for a holiday food gift when you don’t want to give sweets.

People who don’t want to eat a lot of sweets also don’t want to give them away for holiday gifts, and that’s why I started the tradition of giving spice blends I make or purchased spice blends as a gift during the holidays. And this Moroccan Spice Mix will be a fun gift idea for anyone who loves roasted vegetables!

Moroccan Spice Mix
This Moroccan Spice Mix is a tasty idea to give for a holiday gift, and it only takes about a teaspoon of this blend to add amazing flavor to roasted vegetables.
Ingredients
- 8 T ground cumin
- 4 T ground coriander
- 2 T chile powder (see notes)
- 2 T Sweet Paprika (sometimes just called paprika)
- 2 T ground cinnamon
- 1 T ground allspice
- 1 T ground ginger
- 1 1/2 tsp. ground Cayenne Pepper
- 3/4 tsp. ground cloves (optional)
Instructions
- Mix ground cumin, ground coriander, chile powder, sweet paprika, ground cinnamon, ground allspice, ground ginger, cayenne pepper, and cloves to make the spice mix.
- Store in a glass jar with a tight-fitting lid.
- It only takes a small amount of this to season roasted vegetables, so if you're giving it for a holiday gift you might just give some in a snack-size Ziploc bag with the recipe stapled on.
Notes
I use ground Ancho chile powder, but use what you have on hand.
