A homemade Cajun seasoning made with a blend of Cajun herbs & spices that are bold, spicy and savory.

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!
