Wheat Free Gluten Free Cajun Seasoning
Store-bought Cajun blends can be a minefield — many contain fillers, anti-caking agents, or are processed on shared equipment with wheat-containing ingredients. This homemade version cuts through all of that by using nothing but pure spices and dried herbs you likely already have in your pantry. The combination of smoked and sweet paprika gives it real depth, while cayenne, white pepper, and black pepper layer in a bold, building heat that store blends rarely nail. Dried oregano and thyme round everything out with an earthy, aromatic backbone that makes this blend taste genuinely complex. Stir it together in minutes, seal it in a jar, and you've got a reliable, safe seasoning ready to go for the next six months. Use it on chicken, shrimp, roasted vegetables, or anywhere you want a serious Southern-inspired kick without second-guessing the label.
