    Homemade Blackening Seasoning

    This homemade blackened spice mixture contains a mixture of fragrant herbs and spices. This combination of spices is commonly used to make Creole or Cajun seasoning.

    What is Blackening

    Blackening is another cooking technique used to prepare fish, chicken, meat, and more. This cooking process usually involves food that has been dipped in melted butter and seasoned with blackening spices. After that, the food is cooked in a cast iron grill over high heat to achieve that deeply flavored and dark-colored look.

    Ingredients for Blackening Seasoning

    To make your own blackening seasoning, you'll need paprika, cumin, black pepper, dried thyme, onion powder, garlic powder, white pepper, dried oregano, and cayenne pepper.

    This homemade blackening spice would be enough to season 4 pieces of chicken or fish.

    Paprika: You can use regular or smoked paprika.

    Pepper: I used a combination of black pepper and white pepper. If you don't have white pepper in your pantry, feel free to skip it.
