This Our Homemade Cuban Sazon Seasoning Recipe will help you make your very own Cuban seasoning right at home. A great seasoning for chicken, pork, beans, steak and really anything!
The seasoning you use, can make or break the recipe. One of our favorite things to do when we visit other cities is to check out the spice racks at the local markets. You can always find something new or tasty there. The more you cook, the more you begin to pick up on the subtlety that a spice can bring to a dish.
We also noticed how many of these packaged seasonings also came with additives that were not really necessary or good for you. Why not make our own? It seems tedious, but it’s much easier than you think. It is also a way to make sure we keep chemicals out of our food and keep everything fresh.
Our Homemade Cuban Sazon Recipe
Over the years we have come to find that there is a certain combination of seasonings that we just can’t get enough of. The same handful of spices kept showing up. We decided early on that it would become our classic sazon seasoning.
Our Sazon is a blend of classic Cuban flavorings. Cuba is an island in the Caribbean, so there is of course paprika, oregano and cumin. Then we added it in with the garlic and onion powder and of course the kosher and flakey salt. It’s simple, but the combination brings so much flavor and life to everything it touches.
Our Biggest Tip for This Homemade Cuban Sazon Recipe
Make a lot! That is the big tip! We want you to make a big ziplock amount so that you always have it on hand. The idea is to use this seasoning to replace all the other packets in the house. We want you to use it generously when making things like chicken, pork, steak or beans. The key to this is to have enough, so don’t be shy.
