Tuscan Spice Rub is a classic Italian spice blend that adds a punch of flavor to your everyday roasted meat or vegetables. Its combination of six spices - fennel seed, basil, garlic powder, coarse salt, rosemary, and oregano - imparts a tangy, earthy, and aromatic flavor profile. What sets it apart from other spice blends is its versatility. You can use it on beef, chicken, pork, or even roasted vegetables, and still get the authentic Tuscan flavor in every bite.

Instructions

1.	In a small bowl, combine all the ingredients for the Tuscan Spice Rub.
2.	Rub the spice mix generously over your choice of meat or vegetables, making sure to cover all sides.
3.	For meat, preheat your oven to 350°F and roast until cooked to your desired doneness.
4.	For vegetables, heat a large skillet or oven-safe dish with oil over medium-high heat, and add the vegetables. Roast in the oven for 15-20 minutes or until tender.
