2 tablespoons butter OR coconut oil, softened

1 teaspoon brown sugar

¾ teaspoon smoked paprika

½ teaspoon onion powder

½ teaspoon oregano

Preheat oven to 425°F.

Mash butter or coconut oil with brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, chilli powder, cayenne, salt and pepper in a small bowl.
