The Best Cajun Seasoning

Homemade Cajun seasoning made with a blend of zesty herbs & spices that are bold, spicy & savory! This seasoning will take any dish to the next level!

Fun fact about me, I love Cajun food! (Like loveee it!) Anything spicy with big bold flavors just speaks to me on a whole other level. And this seasoning is without doubt the BEST cajun seasoning I’ve ever made! (Even better than storebought.😉)

Ingredients for your Cajun Seasoning

• Paprika
• Garlic powder: I use “granulated garlic” for mine. It’s not quite as fine as some garlic powders.
• Salt: Regular table salt works the best.
• Black pepper
• Cayenne pepper
• Onion powder: I also use granulated onion for my seasoning mix.
• Dried thyme
• Dried oregano
• Crushed red pepper

Storing

This homemade cajun seasoning lasts forever! After mixing the spices together, keep it stored at room temperature in a small glass spice jar or bottle. Your seasoning should stay good for up to a year if stored correctly.

How Do I Use Cajun Seasoning?

Ohh my favorite question – it’s good on so many things! We mainly use it as a dry rub for chicken but it’s also tasty with these too.

• Protein: Try it on salmon, shrimp, pork chops or chicken wings!
• Veggies: Roasted corn, broccoli and crispy potatoes are our favorite. (We love making a spicy breakfast potato hash!)
• Chips & crackers: It’s delicious sprinkled over homemade tortilla chips or pita chips!
