Start with cumin, coriander, paprika, and cinnamon. These are used in a lot of Moroccan dishes and will help you create a good base for both savory and sweet recipes.

Ras el hanout is a must-have spice blend. It’s used in many tagines and couscous dishes. It’s a mix of several spices, including cumin, cinnamon, turmeric, and cloves, and it gives Moroccan food its distinctive aroma and flavor.

Don’t forget saffron, though it’s a bit expensive. It adds a beautiful golden color and a subtle, luxurious flavor to dishes like chicken tagine and Mrouzia.

You’ll also want to have preserved lemons and dried ginger on hand. Ginger is often used in stews, and preserved lemons add a burst of flavor to many Moroccan recipes.
