Gut Friendly Gluten Free Cajun Seasoning
Bold, smoky, and layered with heat, this homemade Cajun seasoning blend brings serious Southern flavor to everything from grilled chicken to roasted vegetables. Store-bought spice mixes can be a minefield for anyone watching their gut health, often hiding fillers, anti-caking agents, or gluten-containing additives that have no business being in a spice jar. This recipe keeps things clean and straightforward — just dried herbs, pure spices, and nothing else. The combination of smoked and sweet paprika gives it real depth, while oregano and thyme round out the heat from cayenne and white pepper with an earthy, aromatic backbone. Stirring it together takes less than five minutes, and once it's sealed in an airtight jar it stays fresh for up to six months, so you can batch it and reach for it all season long. Having a reliable, gut-friendly seasoning blend on hand means you can add bold flavor to your cooking without second-guessing what's in the mix.
