Unfortunately, HelloFresh doesn’t deliver their spice blends separately.
And since you can’t find the readily-made fry seasoning in a grocery store, the only thing left is to make it yourself.
Since a few ounces here and there can turn fry seasoning from Hello Fresh into something totally different, the dosage of spices is really important.
You might be surprised but there are actually a lot of different options to make Hello Fresh Fry Seasoning.
Ingredients:
(2 servings)
Variant 1:
- 1 part garlic powder
- 1 part onion powder
- 1 part paprika
Variant 2:
- 1 part cayenne pepper
- 1 part cinnamon
- 1 part ground black pepper
Variant 3:
- 4 parts ground caraway seed
- 4 parts ground coriander
- 4 parts smoked paprika

Pro tip: it is more cost-effective to purchase the spices in a bulk store or buy them in large containers.
Buying small amounts every time you want to make a seasoning is a bit pricey.
And you will want to make it again. Believe me.

Ingredient Substitution
Though paprika, garlic, and onion powders are the main ingredients of the Hello Fresh Fry Seasoning, there are plenty of other fry seasoning alternatives that won’t make your dish any less special.
Salt
I know what you’re thinking 一 salt, really?
Nevertheless, the primary recipe of fry seasoning has a whole lot of salt.
It is a number one ingredient. But if you’re not comfortable using regular salt, try the kosher salt.
It has larger granules that will better coat your dish.
There is even more to explore.
You can also try garlic or onion salt, which creates a perfect sweet and spicy mix with zero calories. And you can find them in any spice section, which is quite affordable.
Lawry and Marton Seasoned Salt
If you only try the Hello Fresh Fry Seasoning, you deprive yourself of an opportunity to explore other substitutes.
So, if you’re ready to experiment, consider Lawry’s and Morton’s seasoned salt. These are the big brands offering a variety of spices and seasoning.
Lawry’s seasoned salt is made of salt, paprika, sugar, onion, turmeric, gals, and cornstarch.
At the same time, Morton’s offers you a mix of chili pepper, black pepper, salt, celery seed, coriander, and nutmeg.

They use different herbs and spices from the original fry seasoning from Hello Fresh.
But still, there could never be too much flavor.
Changing your perspective is a good thing.
What to Serve with Hello Fresh Fry Seasoning
Because of the name, some might think fry seasoning can only go with French fries or burgers.
In fact, there is nothing that wouldn’t taste amazing with this seasoning.
Fry seasoning fits perfectly with fish, chicken, veggies, or any of your favorite dishes.
So here are a few regular recipes you will see from a new perspective after adding the fry seasoning.
Potato Salad
Potato salad is the most simple and adaptable dish you’ll ever taste.
At the same time, it is packed with textures and flavor.
And it takes no time to cook.
Just boil the potatoes, slice them, and serve with the mixture of mayonnaise and vinegar.
Spicing it all up with the fry seasoning will make your mouth water.
Fried Chicken Wings
Could gold, crunchy, savory chicken wings be any better? For sure, if you top them off with some nice fry seasoning of your own making.
You can hardly go wrong adding this seasoning to the chicken.
It will only make it sweeter and more flavorsome. Too good to be true.
How to Store Hello Fresh Fry Seasoning
While you have to keep all of your spices organized to not create a mess, you still have to focus on the flavor.
Choose a Container
Even though all the ingredients in the fry seasoning are dry, it doesn’t mean that they can’t “spoil”.
You have to keep the flavor going for as long as possible.
So, selecting the right jars for them is the first thing to keep in mind.
It is best to store fry seasoning in mason jars in a cool, dry place with no direct light.
Note: plastic jars could be an alternative, but they can hold moisture which will affect the freshness of the seasoning.
Check for Freshness
Usually, the fry seasoning will last up to three months.
Longer than that, it may lose its flavor.
To check if the seasoning is still good, sprinkle a little bit on your hand and smell it.
If it’s not very fragrant, it won’t serve you any good.
But there is still a way around this.
Revive the Seasoning
It is always good to use fresh spices, as they taste completely different.
However, just in case you’ve made a lot of it, don’t rush to throw it out.
Just take a little skillet over medium heat and heat up as much of the fry seasoning as you plan on using.
Shake the skillet every now and then for about three minutes until you notice a fragrant aroma.
