Cajun Spice Mix
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons paprika, (sweet paprika)
- 2 tablespoons fine kosher salt or sea salt
- 2 tablespoons garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon dried oregano
- 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
- 1/2 tablespoon dried thyme
Instructions
- Mix all ingredients together in a bowl or spice jar until evenly combined.
- Use immediately or store in a sealed container for up to 6 months.
Notes
- You can make this spice blend without any salt, if you prefer.
- You can alter the heat level by increasing or decreasing the amount of cayenne pepper.
- Instead of cayenne pepper, you can also use dried red pepper flakes.
- Double or triple this recipe to make a larger batch.
- I prefer using Mediterranean dried oregano over Mexican dried oregano for this recipe.
- This recipe makes about 3/4 cup of spice mix.
