Ginger Free Gluten Free Cajun Seasoning
Cajun seasoning is one of those pantry staples that can transform a simple piece of chicken, a pot of rice, or a pile of roasted vegetables into something seriously craveable. The problem with most store-bought blends is that you never quite know what's hiding in the fine print — and for anyone avoiding certain spices, that uncertainty gets old fast. This homemade blend keeps things straightforward: smoky, garlicky, herby, and just the right amount of spicy from cayenne and two types of pepper. Both smoked and sweet paprika bring a rich depth that makes the whole mix taste far more complex than a quick stir in a bowl would suggest. Every ingredient here is exactly what it says it is, so you stay in full control of what goes into your food. Mix up a batch, seal it in a jar, and you've got a bold, reliable seasoning ready to go for months.
