½ cup yellow cornmeal
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon salt

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and coat with cooking spray.
In a shallow dish, stir together the cornmeal, paprika, thyme, salt, celery seed, onion powder, garlic powder, and pepper.
