Cajun Seasoning Blend

Ingredients

  • 4 tbsp smoked paprika
  • 3 tbsp kosher salt
  • 3 tbsp garlic powder
  • 1 1/2 tbsp onion powder
  • 1 1/2 tbsp cayenne pepper
  • 1 1/2 tbsp black pepper
  • 1 1/2 tbsp dried oregano
  • 1 1/2 tbsp dried thyme

Combine the Spices

There’s not much to this; just combine all the spices in a bowl.

I’d recommend whisking them together for a minute or so to make sure everything is evenly distributed, especially the salt and cayenne.

Once it’s all one uniform color, transfer it to a spice jar or other airtight container.
