Cajun Seasoning

Ingredients (~6 Tbsp)

• 1 1/2 Tbsp paprika (sweet or smoked)
• 1 Tbsp fine salt
• 1 Tbsp garlic powder
• 1 1/2 tsp onion powder
• 1 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
• 1 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1 1/2 tsp dried oregano
• 1 1/2 tsp dried thyme

Make the Blend

Place all of the ingredients into a small bowl.

Use a fork or a whisk to mix everything together until the blend is uniform in color and all the spices are fully incorporated.

Store in an air-tight container. Because this is made of all-dried spices, it will last for a very long time.
