Tips for using leftover Blue Apron spice blends
Rub them on proteins
Any of our custom spice blends will work well as a rub on proteins like chicken, pork loin, or fish. Try using any leftover Weeknight Hero spice blend on chicken thighs. Just coat your protein with the spice blend, season with salt, and then cook as directed by your recipe.
