Homemade Cajun Seasoning
I’m a huge fan of keeping a variety of homemade seasoning mixes on my pantry shelf because they’re frugal, convenient and practical. I frequently grab the Taco, Ranch and Chili Seasonings that I have, but the one that I grab the most is this Homemade Cajun Seasoning.
Maybe it’s just me, but the kick and flavor that this homemade seasoning blend gives to just about any dish is the perfect medley of flavor, spice and saltiness. Seriously, it’s not uncommon for me to use this blend at breakfast, lunch and dinner.
The smokiness of the paprika and spiciness of the cayenne along with the saltiness that it brings just marries so well with just about any meat, starch or vegetable. I love using this spice blend in casseroles, soups and sauces. One of my favorite ways to use it is on air fried sweet potatoes because it’s the perfect blend of sweet and spicy.
