Ingredients Needed

  • Ingredient Tip: If you want rich, full flavor, always check your dried herbs. If they’re no longer fragrant, they’re past their prime and won’t bring much to the dish.
  • Want Spice? Add some red pepper flakes if you like a little heat!

How to Make Homemade Italian Seasoning

I like to buy bulk spices at grocery or restaurant supply stores. They’re more affordable and great for DIY blends. You can adjust the ratios to your liking. Check out my Garlic Herb Seasoning for another go-to mix!

  1. Add: In a small bowl, add the dried basil, oregano, rosemary, marjoram, and thyme.
  2. Combine: Stir until combined and use as desired. Store in an airtight jar for up to 6 months!
