McCormick Culinary Blackened Seasoning 23 oz – Non-GMO, No MSG, Bold Louisiana Flavor

Elevate menus with McCormick Culinary Blackened Seasoning

Give menus a Louisiana inspired kick with a trusted blend from McCormick Culinary. This 23 oz jar combines paprika, black pepper, red pepper, oregano, garlic, and other spices to deliver a savory crust and consistent flavor across proteins, seafood, vegetables, and more. A close cousin to Cajun seasoning, this blackened blend offers an irresistible kick and a signature crust that works on everything you tenderize, grill, or roast. Add it to chicken, beef, salmon, or shrimp before grilling to create a crispy, blackened crust that showcases the seasoning’s character. Sprinkle over grilled or roasted vegetables with a light oil to transform a simple side into a memorable plate. You can also dust popcorn or roasted nuts to bring a gustatory spark to bar and appetizer menus.

This blend delivers a balanced profile and dependable flavor from batch to batch. It tends to be less spicy than Cajun and a touch hotter than Creole, making it a versatile middle ground for kitchens aiming to please a broad range of palates. The seasoning is gluten free with no added MSG, making it compatible with a variety of dietary considerations, while naturally occurring glutamates may be present. In professional kitchens, McCormick Culinary emphasizes reliability and speed, helping chefs deliver a bold flavor kick without adding extra steps.
