Black Pepper Free Gluten Free Italian Seasoning
Making your own Italian seasoning blend is one of those small kitchen moves that pays off every single time you reach for it. Store-bought versions almost always sneak in black pepper or other additives, which makes them a no-go for anyone managing that sensitivity — but this homemade mix sidesteps the problem entirely. Oregano, basil, thyme, rosemary, and marjoram come together in a fragrant, herbaceous blend that smells like a proper Italian kitchen and tastes even better. The crumbled rosemary is a nice touch, helping it distribute evenly so every pinch is balanced rather than piney in one bite and flat in the next. Optional sage and red pepper flakes let you customize the heat and depth to suit your own cooking style. Stir it up, seal it in a jar, and you've got a reliable, pepper-free seasoning that keeps for up to six months — ready to go on pasta, roasted vegetables, pizza sauce, or anything else that needs a little Mediterranean lift.
