Seed Oil Free Gluten Free Cajun Seasoning
Bold, smoky, and layered with heat, this homemade Cajun seasoning blend delivers serious Southern flavor from a handful of pantry spices. Store-bought seasoning mixes are a sneaky source of unwanted additives, and many contain anti-caking agents or fillers that can introduce refined oils or other questionable ingredients into your cooking. Making your own means you control every single component — and this recipe keeps it clean with nothing but dried herbs, spices, and salt. The combination of smoked and sweet paprika gives it real depth, while cayenne and white pepper team up for a slow, satisfying heat that builds with every bite. It comes together in minutes with just a bowl and a spoon, then stores beautifully in an airtight jar for up to six months. Shake it over chicken, stir it into soups, or rub it onto vegetables before roasting — the possibilities are genuinely endless.
