How to Make Homemade Italian Seasoning at Home

Most typical Italian seasoning blends combine dried basil, oregano, rosemary, thyme, garlic powder, and onion powder. From there, each Italian cook’s signature blend is slightly different and can even include dried vegetables.

Our favorite blend includes dried red bell pepper which you can find already dried on Amazon, or you could dehydrate the peppers yourself at home. We like the addition of dried red bell pepper because when rehydrated in a dressing or other recipe, it provides a little extra sweetness.

This is a versatile seasoning for which you’ll find many uses in various dishes, ranging from pasta sauces, pizzas, and marinades to salads, soups, and for seasoning roasted vegetables.

Ingredients

Three tablespoons each of:

▢  Basil, dried
▢  Oregano, dried
▢  Parsley, dried

Two tablespoons each of:

▢  Red Bell Pepper, dried
▢  Thyme, dried
▢  Rosemary, dried
▢  Garlic powder

One tablespoon:

▢  Onion powder

Lastly, one teaspoon of each:

▢  Black Pepper
▢  Red Pepper flakes (if using)

Instructions

Measure out all the ingredients so that they are ready to use.

Add all the dried herbs and spices in a small mixing bowl, including dried basil, oregano, parsley, dried red bell pepper, thyme, rosemary, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using).

Mix all the ingredients well to ensure that they become evenly distributed.

Store the homemade Italian seasoning blend in an airtight glass jar or a BPA-Free plastic container with a tightly sealed lid. Label it with the name of the seasoning, the date you made it, and any additional notes you may find helpful. Place in a cool and dry place for future use.

Tips for making homemade Italian seasoning:

  • Experiment with different ratios of herbs to find a blend that suits your taste preferences.
  • Use the freshest dried herbs whenever possible.
  • Remember that fresh-cut, dried herbs will tend to have a more vibrant flavor than dried herbs that have sat in your cupboard for a long time.
  • Store the seasoning in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight and moisture. This will ensure that the spices remain fresh and potent for a lengthier period.
  • If desired, add red pepper flakes to the seasoning for a bit of heat. Of course, this is optional and can be omitted if you don’t like spicy food.
  • Some recipes call for salt in their homemade Italian seasoning. However, we feel it’s best to leave out the salt and season your dish accordingly to whatever you’re making.

How to use homemade Italian seasoning:

You can use homemade Italian seasoning in any of your favorite Italian dishes, and it’s also great for enhancing the flavor of nearly any dish. Here are a few more popular ideas where you can add this seasoning to add incredible taste:
  1. Pasta dishes: Sprinkle Italian seasoning over your favorite pasta dishes like spaghetti, fettuccine, or lasagna to add an authentic flavor.
  2. Marinades: Italian seasoning can be used as a starter for marinades. Combine it with olive oil and lemon juice to make a quick marinade for chicken and pork.
  3. Pizza: Add Italian seasoning as a topping to your homemade pizza to have the taste of a professional pizzeria. When making pizza dough from scratch, we also love adding a tablespoon when mixing it up!
  4. Roasted Vegetables: Drizzle olive oil and a generous sprinkle of Italian seasoning on an even layer of potatoes or root vegetables arranged on a baking sheet. Lightly toss to coat, then bake at 350°F for 25-30 minutes for an easy, flavorful, roasted vegetable side dish everyone will love!
  5. Salad Dressing: Whip up an easy salad dressing in minutes using Italian seasoning with a handful of simple ingredients to dress your favorite salads or to make a dip for vegetables and chips.
  6. Soup and Stews: Stir Italian seasoning into soups, stews, and casseroles to enhance flavor.

I'm so happy you're here,

I’ve always loved cooking and creating delicious foods from scratch for myself and those I love.

Then, suddenly, everything I thought I knew about cooking and eating changed one day when I discovered I was celiac. So, I re-learned how to eat, cook, and navigate through life gluten-free – trusting God and His plan for me.

All the recipes you’ll find here are gluten-free and inspired by the people and places I love most. Whenever possible, I make them with seasonal ingredients using whole foods. They’re dishes suitable for everyday life for all food lovers gathered at the same table.

Gfree cooking, health, and wellness ARE my life. And this little corner of the internet is where I share what I’ve learned – Where my passion IS to nourish everyday GfreeDeliciously!
