When I was growing up, Red Robin was a happenin’ place to gather with friends on a Friday night or grab lunch after a Saturday at the mall with your mom. It was on one of these outings that I first tried and became obsessed with this seasoning salt.
Up until this point in my life, I was pretty much a potato purist.
No ketchup or fancy seasonings for me, thanks. Just let me at those fries!
But when a friend encouraged me to try it and promised life-changing results, curiosity got the better of me.
I took one whiff of this stuff, and I was sold. IT SMELLED SO GOOD!
How to Make Copycat Red Robin Seasoning
Just throw a bunch of seasonings in your food processor, pulse a few times, and BAM. You just made your own Copycat Red Robin seasoning AT HOME.
How cool is that?!
16-year-old Brittany would be very impressed with today Brittany in this moment.
Red Robin Seasoning Ingredients
Although the original seasoning is vegan on its own, I have seen some homemade copycat recipes calling for milk powder.
This inspired me to add some nutritional yeast to the mix, and I’m glad I did! It adds a great thickness and savory flavor that ROCKS.
Other than the nutritional yeast, you need a mix of 10 basic pantry staples you probably have right now – like salt and ground black pepper, paprika (if you want to add a smoky quality, you can use smoked paprika here), chili powder, garlic and onion powder, dried basil, and celery salt.
I also added a Tbsp of sugar which I know may sound weird, but it adds a majora flavor POW like you wouldn’t believe. I’ve found this trick is often the key to many copycat recipes which is INTERESTING.
You can omit the sugar if you reaaaally want though. Or, you can use something like coconut sugar if that’s your jam.

How to Use Red Robin Seasoning:
Potatoes of ALL kinds! We use this spice mix to season french fries – whether they’re homemade or the frozen stuff. We even use it when we order fries from our local pizza place.
But, it doesn’t stop at fries. We love this Copycat Red Robin Seasoning on baked potatoes, cast iron potato wedges, roasted potatoes, potato pancakes, mashed potatoes, and if there’s a potato dish we haven’t yet named, we’d probably love it on that too. You get the picture! 🙂
Burgers! We use it in our meaty vegan burger recipe and have also used it to season our Beyond Burgers which are NEXT-LEVEL in case you’re the one person in the world who hasn’t tried them yet. 😉
TOFU! We love using this Copycat Red Robin Seasoning in our morning tofu scramble. It adds a major Southwestern KICK.
Tacos, burritos, pizza…basically, your entire life.
This Copycat Red Robin Seasoning has become a total staple in our spice cabinet, and we hope it does for you too!
