Homemade Cajun Seasoning Blend

To make your own homemade Cajun seasoning, blend the following ingredients in a coffee grinder or small food processor.

• 2 tablespoons onion powder

• 2 tablespoons ground paprika, sweet

• 1 1/2 tablespoons garlic powder

• 1 1/2 teaspoon dried leaf thyme

• 3/4 teaspoon dried leaf oregano

• 1 teaspoon chili powder

• 1 teaspoon black peppercorns

• 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes

• 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste

Store the seasoning in a jar with a lid and make sure to label it. This blend is salt-free, so be sure to season the roast with a sprinkling of salt before rubbing with the seasoning.
