Easy homemade Cajun seasoning blend is a tasty blend of spices that is quick and easy to put together. Most of these spices you have in your spice cabinet make a delicious blend of spicy Cajun seasoning for so many recipes. Making your own spice blend is easy, inexpensive and you control the flavors! This is an awesome seasoning for chicken, pork, seafood and veggies! The recipe possibilities are endless!
I love spice rubs and the flavor the spice adds to any meal! In the past and who hasn’t, I have bought ready-made spice rubs, as they are convenient! The ready-made seasoning blends have an exorbitant amount of sodium and other ingredients that I can’t pronounce or know why they are in a seasoning blend! Also, most of the ingredients are already in the spice cabinet and it takes just a few minutes to combine and we have an inexpensive spice blend, specifically, Homemade Cajun Seasoning.
I make a lot of homemade seasoning blends and I plan on sharing more of these with you because they are so inexpensive to make and truly add great flavor to many recipes. I hope you check out my Homemade Seasoning Salt, which is great as a seasoning for so many things like fish, veggies, and I even add it to salad dressings! My homemade seasoning salt is used to season my Roasted Seasoned Squash Seeds! Since we are bout to jump into Autumn, I hope you try either of these recipes on your pumpkin or squash seeds! Experiment and enjoy!
This is the seasoning I use for my Whole Roasted Cajun Cauliflower ! It is a whole lotta Yum! My daughter has been requesting it daily!

Excellent Jessica. Yes, this seasoning is awesome
I need to make this! I like to make my own blends instead of buying them. This one sounds really good.
Great recipe! As a chef, I’m always trying to encourage people to make their own blends, I’ll point some of my clients this way for this recipe!
I would like to make my own spices like this because I can control the amount of salt used. Some spice combinations are just too salty for me. My brother would like this Cajun seasoning.

My mouth is on fire just reading this. I love cajun spices, so this would be right up my alley.

It is an easy and flavorful spice. Glad you like it William
This is awesome. I love learning recipes like this because it’s better to make homemade blends than to use the store bought ones. This way you know all the ingredients that it’s made with and you get to add or subtract what ingredients you like.
This is pure spicy perfection! I love seasoning
