If you are looking for bold flavors to spice up your protein or vegetables, you just found it. This homemade blackening seasoning mix is packed full of flavors and will not disappoint.
Blackening seasonings can be used for different proteins, like shrimp, fish, chicken, and steak. Our favorite is blackened tilapia that we use to make fish tacos. YUM!
Add a little brown sugar to completely change the traditional flavor and give it a sweet and spicy twist.
WHAT ACTUALLY IS BLACKENING?
Blackening is the term for cooking process, not the seasonings themselves.
When covered in seasoning and then seared in a hot skillet, the meat will get a dark brown (or black) crust.

HOW DO I STORE SEASONING MIX?
This homemade blackened seasoning mix is a great thing to always have in your pantry.
After a couple of months, it will start to lose some of its flavor. I recommend using it up within the first 3-4 months.
Store homemade seasoning mix in cute little jars like these or just basic mini mason jars like these. Be sure to label though, especially if you have multiple homemade seasonings!
