Homemade Blackened Seasoning made with spices you probably already have on hand! Put it on chicken, beef, fish… the possibilities are endless! Such a great way to kick your meal up a notch!

Homemade Blackened Seasoning ingredients

Most of the time when I go out to eat, I order some sort of dish that has blackened seasoning on it. I just love the spicy kick!

I’ve been trying to recreate this, so I could make my own at home. It took a few attempts until I finally nailed it!

Seriously though, everyone I have had try this absolutely says it’s the best they have ever had. Ahhh that just makes my heart feel so warm inside. 🙂

I know they sell this type of seasoning in the store, but I like to control the salt level. I feel like the store bought stuff has way too much sodium. 

Here is all you need to make this Homemade Blackened Seasoning:

  • 2 Tbs ground Smoked Paprika
  • 1 tsp ground Cayenne
  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1 tsp Onion Powder
  • 1/2 tsp dried Oregano
  • 2 tsp Sea Salt
  • 1 tsp Black Pepper

Just mix everything together and store in an air tight container in your spice cupboard. I like to use these baby food mason jars to store it in. (affiliate link)

Now you can certainly double or triple the recipe depending on how often you use it.

When I use it as a dry rub, I sprinkle this over every part of the meat, fish, or seafood. You want a nice even layer of the seasoning.

You could also use it in a marinade. Use your favorite oils, cooking wines, etc and just add a few tablespoons of this for a super yummy marinade. 

Note that if you use it in a marinade it won’t have the same type of kick as using as a dry rub. So I recommend experimenting with both to see which one you like.

Here’s some of my favorite recipes using this Homemade Blackened Seasoning:

Blackened Shrimp Quinoa Salad with Avocado Cilantro Dressing

Blackened Chicken Caesar Salad

Blackened Mahi Mahi Sandwich

Blackened Tuna Steaks

Blackened Mahi Mahi Tacos with Mango Slaw

Black and Blue Burgers
