- 1 tablespoon minced garlic fresh!
- 1 teaspoon parsley

- ½ teaspoon basil
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon fennel seeds

- ½ teaspoon salt
- Sprinkle black pepper or more to taste - you can add a lot more, I am just not a huge fan

- 1 teaspoon maple syrup or sub honey
Instructions
- Mix spices together. Taste and adjust spice level if desired.
- Add 1 tsp olive oil and 1 tsp maple syrup to 1 lb of ground meat. Gently mix in seasonings, being careful not to over handle the meat.
- If you have time, allow the meat to sit in the refrigerator for a few minutes or a few hours so the flavors can meld. If you don't have time, skip this step! I usually skip 🙂
