Why You’ll Love This Homemade Italian Seasoning
I can only take a guess as to why you’ll love having this recipe on hand, but here are some of the reasons I’m predicting:
Life saver: When you need a replacement for Italian seasoning, stat, this recipe will save you!
Saves money: This is a frugal spice mix, especially when you buy your spices in bulk.
Customizable: Rosemary lover? Prefer more cozy overtones of sage flavor? Hate basil? This Italian seasoning recipe is super easy to vary to your tastes.
Ingredients
Six different dried herbs and spices go into this homemade Italian Seasoning mix.
Oregano – Mediterranean or Greek oregano both work.
Basil – also known as dried sweet basil.
Marjoram – a member of the mint family with sweeter flavor (also known as sweet marjoram.)
Rosemary – I like the crushed and dried variation of rosemary so that the pieces are smaller and incorporated better into the Italian seasoning mix.
Thyme – the tiny leaves add savory, earthy flavor.
Sage – I prefer rubbed sage for lots of flavor and it incorporates well.
Adaptations/Variations
Add crushed red pepper flakes for heat
Some store-bought mixes also call for savory – if you like it, feel free to add it!
