Blackened Seasoning
Description
The Blackened Seasoning recipe includes smoked paprika and sweet paprika as the base, providing a deep red color and smoky sweetness. Garlic and onion powders add savory depth, while black pepper contributes pungency. Dried thyme, oregano, and basil introduce herbal notes, and kosher salt brings overall seasoning. Cayenne pepper offers heat that can be adjusted to taste.
This blend is stirred together and stored in an airtight container for convenience. It can be applied to meats, seafood, or vegetables before cooking, especially for blackening technique where the seasoned food is cooked at high heat to form a flavorful crust.
Keeping the mixture in a cool, dark place preserves the pungency of the spices for up to six months, allowing easy access to a signature blackened flavor anytime.
