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
Combine Seasonings in a Bowl
Using a whisk, combine all spices in a medium-sized bowl until properly blended together.
Once combined, you should see a uniform consistency without any clumping of any specific spice.
If you are sensitive to heat from cayenne, add only 2 tsp and adjust from there according to your liking.
Method to Store
Using a clean and dry spice jar or airtight container, transfer the spice mixture into it.
Keep the mix stored in a dry, dark location at room temperature, such as a kitchen cabinet.
The seasoning mixture will remain fresh and effective for up to six months after mixing; however, it will continue to be usable for a few additional months after that, though the flavors will no longer be at their peak strength.
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.
