Total Time: 10 mins Preparation Time: 10 mins

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons onion powder
• 2 tablespoons garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons dried oregano leaves
• 2 tablespoons dried sweet basil leaves
• 1 tablespoon dried thyme leaves
• 1 tablespoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon pepper
• 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
• 1 tablespoon celery seed
• 5 tablespoons sweet paprika

Recipe

• 1 a very versatile seasoning blend. use this as a base seasoning, and build upon it in your dish.
• 2 some versions of creole seasoning blend contain salt -- i don't do that, because i like to control salt content separately. if you insist on this blend being salty, á la tony chachere's "when it's salty enough, it's perfectly seasoned!" rationale, start with 2 tablespoons salt in the blend, increasing up to 4 tablespoons depending on your sodium tolerance level.
• 3 combine in food processor and pulse until well-blended, or mix thoroughly in a large bowl. the recipe doubles or triples well. give lots of it away as gifts to your family and friends.
