Making your own seasoning mix is so much easier than you think, and chances are you already have everything you need in your spice pantry. It can also save you a bit of money, especially if you buy your spices in bulk. When creating your own mix, you also have the opportunity to adjust the spice level to your taste.Â
Cajun seasonings are typically a blend of specific chilli powder along with garlic, onion, salt, oregano, and pepper. Also, there are tons of Cajun seasoning mix recipes out there but I’ve decided to keep mine relatively simple and cost-effective.
This seasoning mix has a bold spicy flavour (from the cayenne and paprika) and subtle earthiness (from the garlic, onion, and herbs).
Storing your homemade seasoning mix
Once you make your homemade seasoning mix, it must be stored in an airtight container. It’s best to keep it in your pantry or spice drawer, away from light. It will keep for several months, depending on the freshness of the spices used.
