Cinnamon Free Gluten Free Cajun Seasoning
Homemade spice blends are one of those kitchen wins that make everything taste better, and this Cajun seasoning is no exception. The combination of smoked and sweet paprika creates a deep, layered base, while garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, and thyme bring that classic Southern-inspired complexity. Cayenne and white pepper add a satisfying kick without overwhelming the blend, making it versatile enough for chicken, shrimp, roasted vegetables, or anything else that needs a bold flavor boost. Many store-bought Cajun seasonings sneak in unexpected spices — including warming spices that can be a real problem for anyone avoiding cinnamon — so mixing your own from scratch puts you fully in control. It comes together in minutes with a quick stir, and a sealed jar kept away from heat will stay fresh and potent for months. Whether you're seasoning a weeknight dinner or prepping for a big cookout, having this blend on hand means bold, reliable flavor is always within reach.
