    I had no idea how hard it was to find Cajun seasoning mix in the stores. I found out after going to 3 stores looking for this spice to add to my vegan Black Eyed Pea Soup.

    But luckily for me making a homemade version is very easy and all the spices I already had in my vegan pantry!

    How to Use Your Seasoning?

    Here are a few of my favorite ways and recipes to use this seasoning.

    • to seasoned tofu like this Cajun Tofu Recipe
    • In homemade Vegan Roumoulade Sauce
    • Black Eyed Pea Soup
    • to seasoned the batter for Fried Okra
    • Fried Oyster Mushrooms for a Vegan Po Boy Sandwich!
    • to seasoned rice
    • Roasted Cajun Peanuts

    How to Make Cajun Seasoning Mix?

    *Please read detailed and printable recipe card below for full ingredients and instructions.

    First start with the basics; paprika, black pepper, and sea salt.

    Substitution, Cook, & Storage Tips

    • You can adjust the amount of spice to your seasoning as you desire.
    • Be sure that your dried seasonings are NOT expired. Expired seasonings do not go bad necessarily, however they will lack flavor causing your seasoning mix to lack flavor.
    • This seasoning mix will keep in your pantry fresh for up to 6 months. It DOES NOT freeze well.

      Made this recipe along with roumoulade, wet and dry breading so I could make the oyster mushroom po'boy from wild foraged oyster mushrooms. I did half recipes for everything except the seasoning. I was the only one eating so I could have cut the other recipes to 1/3. Everything turned out great. Used gluten-free flour mix for breading... next time I won't do that. It didn't stick very well. Nice flavor mix with everything combined.
