This cinnamon chili spice rub has great flavor from chili powder (chili peppers, cumin, oregano, garlic, salt), cinnamon and Hungarian paprika. Use it on roasted butternut squash or roasted turkey or chicken breast.

Recipe ingredients:

The cinnamon flavor in this spice rub is subtle but unmistakable and turns it into something out of the ordinary.

Chili powder, Hungarian paprika, cinnamon and salt.

Serving suggestion:

If you're using the rub on butternut squash, I recommend to serve the squash with steaks seasoned with this espresso steak rub. The combination of flavors is delicious!
