Homemade Blackened Seasoning
Description
The Homemade Blackened Seasoning combines common herbs and spices into a flavorful blend suitable for blackening fish, chicken, or other proteins. Ingredients include paprika for color and mild sweetness, generous amounts of salt and black pepper for seasoning and heat, garlic salt and onion powder to add savory depth, parsley for herbaceous notes, oregano for earthiness, and cayenne pepper which can be adjusted according to desired spiciness. The seasoning is combined thoroughly and stored in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
This blend can be applied liberally to proteins before cooking to develop a dark, flavorful crust when seared over high heat. It enhances dishes with a complex spice profile balancing pungent, spicy, and herbal elements. The seasoning is simple to make in advance and keeps for years if stored correctly in a cool, dark place such as a pantry.
Store the seasoning in a cool, dark pantry to preserve potency for 2-3 years.Use about 1/2 tablespoon per serving of protein to get the intended flavor balance.
