Mediterranean Diet Friendly Gluten Free Cajun Seasoning
Bold, smoky, and layered with warmth, this homemade Cajun seasoning blend is the kind of pantry staple that quietly transforms everything it touches. Two types of paprika — smoked and sweet — build a rich, complex base, while oregano and thyme bring in the herbaceous depth that makes this blend feel right at home in a Mediterranean-leaning kitchen. Garlic powder, onion powder, and a trio of peppers round it out with just enough heat to keep things interesting without overwhelming the palate. Store-bought spice blends can hide fillers, anti-caking agents, or gluten-containing additives, so mixing your own from scratch puts you fully in control of what goes into your food. The whole process takes just one bowl and a good stir — no cooking required. Sealed in an airtight jar, it keeps for up to six months, meaning you'll have a reliable, clean-ingredient seasoning on hand whenever you need to add a little Southern-inspired fire to roasted vegetables, grilled fish, or legume dishes.
