Ingredients

  • 1-½ Tablespoons Paprika Smoked Paprika Optional
  • 1 Tablespoon Garlic Powder
  • 1 Tablespoon Onion Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Salt Kosher salt is preferred but table salt is fine.
  • 1 teaspoon Black Pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Dried Thyme
  • 1-½ teaspoons Cayenne Pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Dried Basil
  • ½ teaspoon Dried Oregano

Instructions

  • Add all ingredients to a small mixing bowl and stir together with a whisk until totally combined.
    1-½ Tablespoons Paprika, 1 Tablespoon Garlic Powder, 1 Tablespoon Onion Powder, 1 teaspoon Salt, 1 teaspoon Black Pepper, 1 teaspoon Dried Thyme, 1-½ teaspoons Cayenne Pepper, 1 teaspoon Dried Basil, ½ teaspoon Dried Oregano
  • Use less Cayenne Pepper if you want a milder flavor.

Storage Instructions

How long does blackened seasoning last? Store in an airtight container (airtight jar) in your spice rack for up to 3 months. Although it won't necessarily 'go bad', it will lose its flavor over time.

Notes

Make in small batches so you don't have any sitting too long in the spice rack.
Sometimes adding a little brown sugar can lend a nice little sweet touch.
