Ingredients:

  • 2 Tablespoons Smoked Paprika (Spanish or Hungarian)
  • 1 Tablespoon Kosher Salt (or fine sea salt)
  • 1 Tablespoon Garlic Powder
  • 1 Tablespoon Onion Powder
  • 1 Tablespoon Dried Oregano
  • 1 Tablespoon Dried Thyme
  • 1 teaspoon Freshly Ground Black Pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Cayenne Pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon White Pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon Dried Sage (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Gather all specified ingredients and accurately measure each spice and herb, ensuring measuring spoons are level. For dried herbs like oregano and thyme, lightly crumble them between your fingers before measuring.
  2. Combine all measured spices, salts, powders, peppers, and dried herbs into a small mixing bowl.
  3. Use a small whisk or fork to thoroughly combine the ingredients for at least 60 seconds until the mix achieves a uniform color. Alternatively, transfer the mix into a sealable jar and shake vigorously for 30–45 seconds for optimal blending.
  4. Transfer the finished Cajun seasoning mix into a clean, airtight glass jar. Label the jar and store it in a cool, dark, dry cupboard away from heat sources.
