Garlic Pepper Lavender Grinder: The Weeknight Roasting Shortcut
Save
The Lavender Spice Grinder in Garlic Pepper is the savory favorite of our grinder lineup. Garlic and pepper do the heavy lifting, and lavender adds a floral lift that makes an ordinary pan of roasted vegetables taste like you planned ahead. Nobody has to know it took you thirty seconds.
What it tastes like
Expect the familiar comfort of garlic pepper first, with lavender coming through as a fresh, herbal note in the background, much the way rosemary or thyme would. It is not a dessert seasoning. This one belongs next to the stove.
Where to use it
| Dish | How to use it |
|---|---|
| Roasted vegetables | Toss with oil, grind on before roasting, then a little more at the end |
| Chicken | Season the skin before roasting or grilling |
| Potatoes | Roasted wedges, mashed potatoes or breakfast hash |
| Eggs | A twist over fried or scrambled eggs right before serving |
Seasoning tips
- Season in two steps. Some before cooking for depth, a little after for aroma.
- Taste before adding salt. Garlic pepper is bold on its own, so you may need less of everything else.
- Use oil or butter. Fat carries the garlic and lavender flavors across the whole dish.
- Keep it off the steam. Grind onto food on the cutting board rather than over a steaming pot so the grinder stays dry.
Building a savory lavender kitchen
If you are new to cooking with lavender, garlic pepper is an easy first step because it starts from flavors you already know. From there, the Pepper and Salt grinders cover the table, and the Culinary Lavender Buds grinder handles baking. Our herbes de Provence chicken and roasted vegetable recipes are good places to start. Store the grinder in a cool, dry cupboard and check the label for ingredients and allergen information.
Frequently asked questions
Will my chicken taste floral?
Not in a perfume way. Used lightly, the lavender reads as an herb, similar to thyme or rosemary.
Is it good on popcorn?
Savory popcorn with butter and a few twists is a good movie-night experiment. Start light.
Would it make a good gift?
For the person who cooks dinner every night, yes. Combine grinders in the Gift Box Builder.
