As a passionate cook and someone who absolutely loves the fall season, I can’t help but share my top 5 spicy seasonings for fall. These blends not only enhance the flavors of fall dishes but also add a touch of warmth and depth to any meal. So, let’s dive into my fall favorites!
Mojave Chili Seasoning | A Southwestern Tex-Mex blend
First on my list is the Mojave Chili Seasoning. What’s not to like about this Southwestern Tex-Mex blend? It is perfect for chili, meat rubs, taco meat and salsas. Pizza sauce? YES. Pasta? YES. How about sprinkling it on the chicken? You bet!
The reason I love it for fall is its ability to bring that cozy, spicy warmth to hearty dishes. The combination of cumin, paprika, garlic and crushed red pepper adds a burst of flavor that pairs perfectly with the crisp autumn air. Over the years, I think I’ve sprinkled it on every dish imaginable and it tastes great. It’s easy to use and will enhance the flavor of anything. It’s available in a salt-free version for those who like to control their sodium intake, or in a salted version for a ready-to-use mix to sprinkle on and go!
Mughal Masala | Indian-inspired blend for vegetables, meat and soups
India’s Mughal Empire (1500-1858) left us not only architectural wonders but also a rich culinary legacy. Mughal Masala pays homage to this heritage by offering a versatile blend full of flavour. I turn to this spice mix during the fall because it brings a unique warmth and richness. Whether I’m cooking lentils, roasting chicken or making soup, a pinch of Mughal Masala adds a unique Indian flavor to my food.
Mughal Masala is prepared with a blend of cumin, coriander and black pepper which gives that exotic touch to the autumn dinner. Its rich, savory notes make it an ideal choice when the leaves begin to change.
Moroccan spices | A welcoming condiment for fall soups and stews
When I think of a fall soup, I consider my Moroccan spice! For those cozy autumn evenings, Moroccan Spice is a true gem. Lately, my kids have become interested in soups and exploring new flavors. Some of the stronger spice blends can be overwhelming for developing palettes, but this Moroccan spice finds that sweet spot in adding a delicate flavor.
It works wonders when added to fall soups and stews, making them heartier and more flavorful. And, of course, the hint of sweetness from cinnamon pairs perfectly with fall vegetables like sweet potatoes and carrots. It is a blend of spices that embodies the essence of autumn with a touch of international flavor.
Spices for mulling over | Classic autumn blend of cloves and cinnamon
Pumpkin pies, Thanksgiving dinners, mulled wine, apple cider… these, my friends, embody autumn in all its classic glory. You can’t think about these things without smelling the aromas of cinnamon and the heat of cloves. Our Mulling Spice is a tribute to those who love these autumn traditions.
This blend is made especially for the season with a mix of cloves, cinnamon and citrus peel, making it an ideal choice for making hot, spicy drinks like mulled wine or cider. There’s nothing better than sipping a cup of mulled wine by the fire on a cold autumn night.
This mulled wine spice will warm you from head to toe!
Golden Milk | A welcoming and healthy drink for warmth and well-being
Last but not least, we have Golden Milk. While it is traditionally enjoyed as a warming drink, I have found that it is equally delicious for cooking. Combining turmeric, cinnamon, black pepper and ginger, Golden Milk not only tantalizes your taste buds but also offers incredible health benefits. In the fall, when the weather gets cooler, this spice blend becomes my ace in the hole.
I add it to soups, curries, and even baked goods, infusing them with its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant-rich goodness. It’s a golden touch to start cooking that your mind and body will thank you for.
This mix is ​​blended with turmeric powder and freshly ground spices. The result is an aromatic and strong flavour, where a little is enough. Each of the spices used in this blend brings its own unique health benefits. This is traditionally an Ayurvedic drink for overall health and well-being.
Whether you’re sipping a cup of Golden Milk or stirring a warm fall soup, I hope the spices on this list bring you the same joy and happiness that they bring me and my family. They’re easy to use for anyone who wants to add more flavor to their food, whether you’re new to cooking or an experienced cook.
Happy cooking and I hope you will savor the flavor of the season!
