Chipotle Blackening Seasoning

 Chipotle Blackening Seasoning

Spice Up Your Dishes with a Fiery Twist

Blackening is a popular cooking technique that originated in Louisiana and is famous for its bold, smoky flavors. By searing meats, fish, or vegetables in a cast-iron skillet at high heat, you can achieve a delicious charred exterior while keeping the inside tender and juicy. To enhance this culinary experience, we present to you a tantalizing chipotle blackening seasoning that will take your dishes to new heights of flavor.


Ingredients:

  • 2 tablespoons smoked paprika
  • 1 tablespoon dried Mexican oregano
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon onion powder
  • 2 teaspoons ground chipotle pepper
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to desired spiciness)
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper


Instructions for Blackening:

  1. Preheat a well-seasoned cast-iron skillet over high heat until smoking hot.

  2. While the skillet is heating, generously coat your choice of protein or vegetables with the chipotle blackening seasoning.

  3. Gently press the seasoning onto all sides of the food, ensuring an even coating.

  4. Carefully place the seasoned food in the hot skillet and cook on each side for about 2-3 minutes or until a dark, caramelized crust forms.

  5. Remember, the key to blackening is high heat, so be prepared for a little smoke and sizzle!

  6. Once cooked, transfer the food to a serving platter and allow it to rest for a few minutes before slicing or serving.


With its smoky, spicy, and slightly sweet flavor profile, the chipotle blackening seasoning adds depth and complexity to any dish. Whether you're grilling succulent chicken breasts, searing fresh fish fillets, or even roasting robust vegetables, this seasoning blend will undoubtedly elevate your culinary creations. Embrace the art of blackening, and let the chipotle's fiery embrace captivate your taste buds with every bite.

Feel free to adjust the spice levels according to your personal preferences. Enjoy the process of blackening and the mouthwatering results it brings to your dishes. Happy cooking and bon appétit!
