Homemade Blackened Seasoning Recipe
Description
This seasoning combines aromatic dried herbs with granulated onion and garlic for texture and flavor, balancing savory salt with smoky paprika and the pungency of white pepper. The cayenne pepper contributes heat characteristic of blackened seasoning blends. Prepared by mixing all components thoroughly, it can be stored for months in an airtight container.
The mixture works well as a dry rub to coat meats or seafood before cooking with high heat to form a flavorful crust. Using granules rather than powders preserves stronger flavors in the seasoning. Storing this blend in a cool, dark place helps maintain potency.
Making the blend ahead allows having a ready-to-use seasoning for various recipes requiring the classic blackened taste. Keeping it sealed extends shelf life up to six months.
