Homemade Italian Seasoning
A simple five-herb Italian seasoning blend, basil, oregano, thyme, rosemary, and parsley, mixed in five minutes and stored in a jar. Salt-free, so you season to taste.
Servings 6 tablespoons
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons dried oregano
- 1 tablespoon dried basil
- 1 tablespoon dried thyme
- 1 tablespoon dried rosemary
- 1 tablespoon dried parsley
Instructions
- If your rosemary is in long whole needles, crumble it between your fingers or pulse it briefly so it blends in evenly.
- Add all of the herbs to a small bowl and whisk or stir until evenly combined.
- Spoon into a clean, dry jar, seal, and shake to mix. Label with the name and date.
- Store in a cool, dark cupboard and use within about a year for the best flavor.
Notes
This blend is salt-free, so add salt separately when you cook. To make just enough for one recipe, keep the same ratio: 2 parts oregano to 1 part each of basil, thyme, rosemary, and parsley. Use about 1 teaspoon per pound of meat, or to taste. Add a pinch of red pepper flakes if you like a little heat.
