Caffeine Free Gluten Free Cajun Seasoning
Bold, smoky, and layered with heat, this homemade Cajun seasoning blend is the kind of pantry staple that makes everything it touches taste like it came from a serious kitchen. The combination of smoked and sweet paprika builds a rich, complex base, while cayenne and white pepper deliver that signature Southern kick without going overboard. Store-bought spice blends can be a minefield of hidden additives, fillers, and even surprising stimulant-based ingredients, so mixing your own from scratch puts you fully in control. Every single ingredient here is naturally free from caffeine, so you can season generously without a second thought. Dried oregano and thyme round out the savory depth, making this blend just as at home on grilled chicken as it is stirred into a pot of jambalaya. It comes together in minutes and keeps for up to six months in an airtight jar, meaning you only have to make it once to enjoy it all season long.
