My Cajun spice blend is mild to hot depending on my mood and how much cayenne pepper I want to add. Some days I like more spicy so some days just a touch. I make this one with my herb and spice essentials in my kitchen.
Pure spices in stackable spice jars.

I use cajun spice on veggies, slow roasts and BBQs. This makes an awesome rub or seasoning instead of salt and pepper.
Cajun Spice
I make my Cajun spice blend mild to hot depending on my mood and how much cayenne pepper I want to add. This is amazing on meats, vegetables or a spicy addition to a potato salad.
Equipment
- Spice grinder
Ingredients
- 4 tsp sweet paprika
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp balck peppercorns
- 2 tsp onion powder
- 2 tsp thyme
- 1 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1/2 tsp chilli flakes
Instructions
Use either whole or ground spices. Both will work but I prefer whole where I can and grind them fresh.
- Add any whole spices and the salt to your mortar and pestle or spcie grinder. Grind to a rough powder.
- Add any pre-ground spice and give a good mix in.
- Put this in a glass jar to use in a Cajun inspired creation.
Notes
Make this blend fresh each time for the best flavour but of you use this Cajun Spice a lot then try making a bigger batch and storing some in glass jar. This will keep for up to a year or even more if you store it well.
