Blackened Seasoning Recipe
Description
Blackened Seasoning is created by combining smoked paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, ground black pepper, dried thyme and oregano, sea salt, and cayenne pepper. The smoked paprika provides a deep smoky flavor and vibrant color, while the cayenne delivers heat. The dried herbs add earthiness and aromatic elements, complemented by the savory notes of onion and garlic powders. Salt enhances and balances the overall flavor.
This seasoning blend is ideal for coating protein or vegetables prior to cooking, particularly grilling or pan-searing, to develop a dark, flavorful crust often referred to as blackening. It simplifies seasoning by encompassing multiple complementary spices.
The spice mix stores well in a dark, dry place, preserving its potency for repeated use. It can be adjusted by varying the amount of cayenne to alter heat levels.
