Gluten Free Cajun Seasoning
Cajun seasoning is one of those pantry staples that can completely transform a weeknight dinner, but store-bought blends are notorious for sneaking in fillers, anti-caking agents, and other additives that can be a real problem for anyone avoiding gluten. Making your own takes about two minutes and gives you full control over every single ingredient. This blend layers smoked and sweet paprika for depth, then builds heat with cayenne, black pepper, and white pepper — it's bold, smoky, and just the right amount of fiery. Dried oregano and thyme round out the flavor with an earthy, herby backbone that makes the whole mix taste complex without any effort. One batch yields 12 servings, so you'll have plenty on hand to season chicken, shrimp, roasted vegetables, or anything else that needs a serious flavor boost. Stored in an airtight jar away from heat and light, it stays fresh for up to six months — meaning you can make it once and reach for it all season long.
