Xanthan Gum Free Creole Seasoning
Bold, smoky, and layered with heat, this homemade Creole seasoning blend brings serious Southern flavor to everything from grilled chicken to roasted vegetables. Store-bought spice blends can be a minefield for anyone avoiding additives and fillers, since many commercial versions sneak in anti-caking agents or thickeners that aren't always clearly labeled. Making your own means you know exactly what's in the jar — and in this case, it's nothing but pure, aromatic spices. The combination of paprika, two kinds of pepper, and cayenne builds a complex heat that's warm rather than one-dimensional, while oregano and thyme keep things grounded and earthy. A quick whisk is all it takes to bring everything together, and the blend stores beautifully for up to six months in an airtight container. Keep a jar on hand and you're always one pinch away from turning a simple weeknight meal into something that tastes like it took all day.
