Copycat Garlic Plus Seasoning

Canadian-style Garlic Plus Seasoning knockoff, crafted to closely match the McCormick Canada Garlic Plus with Herbs & Spices blend. 🇨🇦

That version tends to be brighter, a bit lemony, and more balanced (less salty and garlicky than the U.S. one), with hints of herbs and mild sweetness.

Tips for Best Flavor

• For a fresher aroma, add the lemon zest just before use.
• If you prefer the “buttery” taste that McCormick’s has, add ¼ tsp powdered butter flavoring or nutritional yeast.
• Want it salt-free? Just skip the salt entirely — it’s still full of flavor.
