- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- ½ teaspoon Kosher salt

Notes
- Yields: This recipe makes ¼ cup of blackened seasoning. It can be multiplied as needed.
- Make it your own: Feel free to adjust the amount used according to your taste buds. This also applies to the amount of salt used. If you prefer to salt your food separately, we recommend omitting salt.
- Safety: Proper air ventilation is a must when you cook with blackened seasoning. The high heat of the cooking process may cause your seasoning mix to smoke, resulting in coughing or irritation if inhaled directly. To avoid discomfort, we recommend turning on your kitchen’s overhead fan and, if possible, opening nearby windows.
