    Italian seasoning is a very flavorful condiment that will give all your meals a delicious taste. It's very easy to make and requires inexpensive ingredients, and it's also very healthy because it doesn't have any additives.

    Making your own seasoning is a good way of customizing it however you like. You can add, replace, or change its ingredients to taste, and it will also be more affordable than the store-bought ones. Besides, it's ready in just 2 minutes.

    You can use it to prepare Italian dishes or any recipe that calls for this condiment. It also works as a replacement for oregano or basil in pasta, pizzas, salads, grilled veggies, and many other meals.

    This Italian seasoning is made in no time with 6 different herbs. If you make it at home you'll save quite some money and you'll get a natural and delicious flavoring ingredient. Feel free to prepare it with anything you have on hand!

    How to make Italian seasoning - Step by step

    Step by step photos of how to make Italian seasoning
    • Add all the ingredients to a small bowl (photo 1) and mix until well combined (photo 2). You could also place them in a jar and shake until well mixed or blend until you get the desired consistency.
    • Use immediately or store in a dark, cool place.

    Pro tips

    • If you can't find some of the herbs, feel free to omit or replace them, but it would be best to make this exact recipe.
    • Dried herbs work better than fresh herbs and they will make your seasoning last longer, but you could also use fresh ones.
    • I'd rather mix the ingredients in a bowl because it's fast and clean. However, if you are looking for a lighter texture or your herbs don't have a similar size, you can use a blender or a grinder.
