You will find several different things in Italian seasoning. This includes: dried parsley, dried oregano, dried basil, dried thyme, dried rosemary, garlic powder and onion powder.

They all come together to give recipes the best flavor. I bet you already have these spices in your cabinet. Make this today and start making more things at home.  Save money and use that for something else.

Why We Love Homemade Seasoning Blends

This seasoning mix with a blend of dried herbs is so simple to make that you will wish you started sooner.  I think it tastes better than store bought too.

Store bought is expensive for a small bottle. Now, you can make homemade Italian seasoning that has great flavor. Give it a try and let us know what you think.

How to Make Homemade Italian Seasoning

• Step 1 – First, get a medium bowl to put all the ingredients in.

• Step 2 – Second, mix everything together really well with a whisk. You want to make sure it is really well combined.

• Step 3 – Finally, transfer everything into an airtight container. You can reuse an old spice container if you have one or save one the next time you use the last of something.

You can also use a mason jar to store the spices. I always have several of these around so this is often what I use.  Feel free to use what you prefer or already have.

Expert Tips

• Fresh Spices – We recommend when making any type of homemade seasoning blends to use fresh spices. This will give your recipes the best flavor and will allow the blend to last longer.
• Storing – We think it is best to store the Italian Seasoning Mix in a glass container instead of a plastic container.
• Combining Ingredients – I like to add all the spices to a bowl so I can completely mix everything together before placing in a jar.
