What’s In Blackening Seasoning
BASIC BLEND: Paprika (plain and smoked), cumin, Swerve brown sugar sweetener, salt, oregano, and a dash of garlic, onion, and chili powder make up the basic blend.
But the addition of other seasonings like red pepper flakes, cayenne pepper and lemon zest can definitely kick things up a bit! Create a signature blend that is unique and delish.

Tips & Tricks
Add a pinch of cornstarch to the blackened seasoning mix. This keeps it from clumping and helps the seasoning adhere to any food it’s added to. Keep blackened seasoning in a cool, dry space like the pantry away from direct light. Write the date on the outside of the container or the lid as the blend is best used within 6 months.

REPIN this Blackening Seasoning recipe!
I have 2 questions: 1) What/where do the 6 carbs come from? 6 carbs in 2 tablespoons seems a lot. 2). Can plain erythritol be substituted for the Sweve?
Thanks
Hi Jocelyn, while the spices themselves don’t have a lot of carbs the carbs come mainly from the Swerve, there is 5g in one teaspoon. We have not tried this recipe with plain erythritol but would love to hear how it turns out for you.
