Italian Seasoning

Anywhere you are looking to add Italian flavors to dishes, you’re going to want to use this mixture of Italian herbs.

It’s super easy to make and you can use it for just about anything. Pizzas, spaghetti sauce, on some garlic bread, and soups.

Make your own Italian seasoning at home with spices from your cabinet to use as a dressing mix or spices for a bread dipping oil. I love this on my pizza crust garlic knots!

Some Italian Seasoning recipes contain garlic powder, or salt and pepper, or red pepper flakes, but most people either love them or hate them so I leave those out. Feel free to add them to your mix if you prefer.

How to Make Homemade Italian Seasoning

How long does it last?

If stored properly, this Italian herb blend can last a long time. Unless you use it all first. Mine lasts 6 months in a glass jar.

If you like making your own spice blend, these jars are the best for storage because they are reusable and air-tight. The marker I use to label them wipes right off too.

How to Store It

The best place for spices is in a cool, dry place like a spice cupboard. Be sure to keep it away from your oven or stove top as the heat can make them lose their flavor faster.

Away from direct sunlight is also best.

Make a big batch of this homemade Italian seasoning and store it in a mason jar. It makes a great hostess gift for a party too. Just print out the ingredient list to make a fun tag.

Uses for Italian Seasoning

• spaghetti sauce or other pasta sauces
• salad dressings
• bread dipping oil
• best spices for chicken
• garlic bread topping
• basically any Italian dishes.

What is a good substitute for Italian seasoning mix?

That’s no problem! Just mix equal parts of black pepper, dried basil, garlic powder, dried marjoram, onion powder, dried oregano, red pepper flakes, dried rosemary, and dried thyme.

If you have only a few of them, don’t be afraid to mix fresh herbs and dried herbs for a one time use. Do not store them together.

Is it healthy?

It totally is! Gluten free, dairy free, sugar free, Paleo, Keto, Whole30 and contains the herbs and spices that are perfect for a marinade or salad dressing!
