...Other than salt and pepper
For me it's cumin. It's one of the few spices I buy in bulk and actually use up my supply.
In the winter it may lean towards cardamom thanks to copious amounts of chia.
Oregano/thyme
Does salt count as a spice? I don't think it does. If salt doesn't count, probably tumeric, ginger or oregano.
Cumin
I buy cumin seeds in bulk and grind them as needed.
I also use turmeric and ground mustard a lot too.
What's a spice vs whats an aromatic?
But based on frequency and amount.
Flavacol.
Based on preferred spice, smoked cumin.
Savory: Garlic Powder, Onion Powder on almost everything - sometimes even if I am using fresh versions. Sweet: Cinnamon. However I have about 20 spices that I have in high rotation and another 20 for occasional use. I also keep Chives, Flat Parsley, Oregano, Rosemary, Sage, Thyme & Mojito Mint plants.
paprika and whatever nice spice blends my mom occasionally gets me from pensey. right now my favorites are Justice, Outrage of Love, and Transgender Remember Vanilla Sugar of Love
chilies, followed very closely by garlic
Not what I use most, but coco powder is very underrated in savory dishes. Just a little bit can add a lot to many dishes. (the ones I use most have been well covered)
Chipotle pepper powder. It's like smoked paprika and cayenne rolled into one.
Oregano, mainly for salads.
Cinnamon, easily, though cumin is a close-ish second. I put cinnamon in my porridge, in chilli and dahl, on beans, over cornflakes, and so much more.
Garlic and thyme. Where thyme is, there is garlic. If there is garlic, most of the thyme there is thyme.
Marjoram
I just consider it one of the standard Italian spices... I rarely use it on its own.
I also buy in bulk and did not appreciate how light and fluffy it was. I bought a bag on sale from Mt Rose Herbs, it was a long time ago I don't remember how many ounces, but was more than 1, at most 4, and it was huge! I used it all the time. Lots of it, in any dish it could plausibly go in. That was more than a decade ago, maybe 2 now, but I'm still heavy-handed with it and use a lot to this day.. just not as much as I used to.
