What is Cajun Spice Made Of?

This homemade no-salt seasoning is made with common spices that you probably already have in your pantry.

To make your own homemade cajun spice, you will need the following dry herbs and spices:

garlic powder
onion powder
ground black pepper
ground white pepper
ground cayenne pepper
ground paprika
dried oregano
dried thyme

It is no added salt seasoning, so it's great for those of you watching your sodium intake. I personally like it without salt as you can then add it to any recipe and adjust the salt levels later.

However, if you prefer to add salty flavor to the seasoning, feel free to use about 1 - 1½ teaspoons of fine kosher salt into the mixture.

How to Make the Best Cajun or Creole Seasoning:

There is nothing complicated about this seasoning recipe. It's so quick and easy! Simply mix all of the ingredients together until well blended.

In this recipe, I used 1½ teaspoons of cayenne pepper and the spice level is moderately high. For a milder taste, you can cut the amount of cayenne pepper in half, use about ¾ teaspoon.

How to Store Homemade Seasoning:

Always keep spices or seasoning in an airtight container, in a cool and dark place.

In general, ground spices may last 1-2 years maximum, while dried herbs can last up to 3 years. This cajun seasoning contains both dried and ground spices, if properly stored, it should last up to 1 year.
