Italian Seasoning Recipe
This homemade Italian Seasoning Recipe is a quick and flavorful blend that brings the taste of Italy into any dish—no preservatives, no fuss, just pure herb goodness.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons dried oregano Greek-style for bold flavor
- 2 tablespoons dried basil full-leaf, not powder
- 1 tablespoon dried rosemary crushed lightly
- 1 tablespoon dried thyme
- 1 tablespoon dried sage
- 1 teaspoon dried marjoram
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder optional, for a garlicky kick
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder optional
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes optional, for heat
Instructions
- Gather your dried herbs and spices on a clean kitchen scale or measuring spoons—accuracy ensures that balanced taste.
- In a small bowl, add oregano, basil, rosemary, thyme, sage, and marjoram. Add garlic or onion powder if desired.
- Stir the herbs together until evenly mixed, aim for flecks of green evenly scattered.
- If desired, fold in red pepper flakes and gently blend. Adjust to taste.
- Transfer the mix to an airtight jar, label with the date, and store in a cool, dark spot. Let it rest at least an hour before first use.
Notes
Substitutions: if you don’t have marjoram, add extra oregano; rosemary can be swapped with equal parts savory for a softer pine note. Store in a dark glass jar and shake gently before each use.
