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!
