Al Roker’s Rub

PUBLISHED April 26, 2022

This rub is a perfect celebration of spring and near summer. It’s all purpose — obviously, you can use it on meat, but you can also sprinkle it on vegetables, you can rub it on tofu, anything that you’re going to grill. This makes a large quantity, and will last you a while, so be sure to use a big container.
