Creole Seasoning

Ingredients:

• Paprika – Use a blend of sweet and smoked paprika for colour and flavour.
• Salt – Stick to sea salt or medium-grain Kosher salt. Table salt is too salty.
• Garlic powder – You can never go wrong with a little umami-packed garlic in a seasoning blend.
• Onion powder – Onion powder, too, is a go-to ingredient for most seasoning blends.
• Dried basil – Basil is peppery and sweet. It adds a richness to the blend with notes of anise or licorice.
• Dried oregano – Oregano brightens up the mixture and adds extra flavour.
• Dried thyme – Thyme adds a bit of minty freshness and earthiness.
• Peppers – You need three different peppers for this mix: black, white, and cayenne. Some people also add red pepper flakes. These ingredients give the seasoning its heat.
