Part of my mom\u2019s family is originally from New Orleans, Louisiana. Whenever I visited there I\u2019ve loved the flavors of Cajun cooking. Especially the Cajun seasoning blend, which gives a special kick to the local Cajun food. I wanted to recreate recipes that use it at home, like Cajun chicken and red beans.<\/p>\n

For years, I bought Cajun seasoning from the grocery store, but then realized it had MSG, anti-caking agents, and fillers in it (including gluten!). Since I already order most of our herbs and spices in bulk, I started mixing my own spice mix and kept it in a small mason jar in my cabinet. (Here are some of my other <\/a>homemade spice blend recipes.<\/a>)<\/p>\n

Cajun Seasoning Recipe<\/h2>\n

Though the ingredients cost slightly more on the front end since I order them in bulk, they\u2019re less expensive in the long run. I\u2019m able to make about 4-5 times the amount of seasoning mix, and I also still had the individual spices on hand for other dishes.<\/p>\n

These are the seasonings traditionally in Cajun seasoning, as far as I can tell:<\/p>\n

Some recipes also call for cumin, celery seed, or red pepper in their Cajun spice seasoning. Want some extra fun\/challenge? Make your own garlic powder or onion powder using this recipe<\/a>. (You can make chili powder from peppers too!)<\/p>\n

Many of these herbs have antimicrobial benefits to help the immune system fight off invaders. They\u2019re also considered warming herbs that stimulate and aid digestion. And sea salt offers trace minerals our cells need. It\u2019s a win-win for everyone.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s how to make your own Cajun spice blend.<\/p>\n

    How to Use Cajun Seasoning<\/h2>\n

    Cajun cuisine is known for its bold, spicy flavors. Many times these dishes are served over rice (a southern staple) to help mellow the Cajun flavor. You can add a side of rice to your meal or cornbread (if you eat grains), or just pile on the veggies! I\u2019ve found these recipes are so much better than the pre-made store-bought options. Nothing beats simple ingredients and real flavor.<\/p>\n
