Ingredients (~1 1/2 cups seasoning)
- 3 Tbsp smoked paprika
- 2 Tbsp seasoning salt
- 1 1/2 Tbsp onion powder
- 1 1/2 Tbsp garlic powder
- 1 Tbsp oregano
- 1 Tbsp cayenne powder (adjust to taste)
- 1 Tbsp dried thyme
- 1 1/2 tsp basil
- 1 1/2 tsp white pepper
- 1 1/2 tsp black pepper
Mix All Spices Together
Add all the spices to a medium bowl and whisk together until well combined.
The mixture should look uniform with no clumps of any single spice visible.
If you’re sensitive to heat, start with 2 tsp of cayenne and add more to taste.
Store in an Airtight Container
Transfer the seasoning blend to a clean, dry spice jar or airtight container.
Store at room temperature in a dark place like your spice cabinet.
The blend will stay fresh and potent for up to 6 months; after that the flavors start to fade but it’s still usable for another few months.
Homemade Cajun Seasoning
This makes enough seasoning to last a few months and costs way less than buying those tiny store bottles. I keep mine in an old spice jar and use it on everything from grilled chicken to roasted vegetables.
