Homemade Blackened Seasoning Mix

My homemade seasoning blends collection is growing!  You know how I love my homemade seasoning blends, right?  I add them to all my favorite recipes and always keep my spice cupboard stocked.  Now I have a new addition to the original nine spices mixes – this Homemade Blackened Seasoning Recipe!

I have always loved making my own spice mixes – it’s more convenient than measuring several individual spices for every recipe and saves me tons of money by not buying store bought packets/spice blends.  I was inspired to make this Blackened Seasoning version by my husband’s love for the blackened salmon and blackened chicken wings at our favorite local restaurant. I knew it couldn’t be hard to recreate these recipes at home, and I was right!  I just needed a good blackening seasoning!

This Homemade Blackened Seasoning is a cinch to make and makes a good amount, plenty for several recipes.  Like every good, blackened spice, it has a good amount of kick from the pepper, but it’s not overly spicy.  It’s perfect for adding great flavor to pan-fried or grilled meat and seafood.

What’s in Blackened Seasoning?

  • Paprika
  • Garlic Powder
  • Onion Powder
  • Sea Salt
  • Black Pepper
  • Cayenne Pepper
  • Oregano

How to Make Blackened Seasoning

  1. Gather your spices.  I like to stock up on my bulk spices from Thrive Market.  Their products are organic and I can usually get them cheaper than at the grocery store!
  2. Combine the spices in a small bowl and mix well.  Pour into a mason jar or other air tight container.  Store in your spice cupboard.
  3. Before using, always give the mix a stir.  Spices will tend to settle.

Best Ways to Use Blackened Seasoning Mix

Blackened Seasoning can be used on your favorite meats to add a slightly spicy, rich flavor.  Don’t be shy about the amount; it’s best to use a heavy hand with this seasoning blend!

Coat chicken wings with blackened seasoning and cook in the Air Fryer using this method.

Make Blackened Salmon – sprinkle both sides of skinless salmon filets with blackened seasoning and cook in avocado oil in a cast iron skillet.

Make Blackened Chicken – coat chicken breasts with blackened seasoning and grill until cooked through.
