Hazelnut Free Creole Seasoning
Bold, smoky, and layered with heat, this homemade Creole seasoning blend is the kind of pantry staple that transforms everyday cooking into something seriously craveable. Store-bought spice blends can be a minefield — many are processed on shared equipment alongside tree nuts, making label-reading a constant chore. Mixing your own from scratch means you know exactly what's in every jar, and this recipe keeps it beautifully simple with nine pure spices and nothing else. The combination of paprika, two types of pepper, and cayenne builds a deep, complex heat, while oregano and thyme bring that unmistakable Southern aromatic backbone. A quick whisk is all it takes to bring everything together into a perfectly balanced, clump-free blend. Stored in an airtight container away from heat and light, it stays fresh for up to six months — ready to season chicken, seafood, rice dishes, or roasted vegetables whenever inspiration strikes.
