High Fructose Corn Syrup Free Italian Herb Blend
So many store-bought seasoning blends sneak in anti-caking agents, natural flavors, or fillers that can harbor hidden sweeteners — making something as simple as a spice jar a surprisingly tricky purchase. This homemade blend puts you back in control with nothing but pure dried herbs from start to finish. Oregano, basil, thyme, rosemary, marjoram, and optional sage come together in a ratio that's deeply aromatic and genuinely versatile. Taking a moment to crumble the rosemary by hand is a small step that makes a real difference, helping every pinch of the blend measure and distribute evenly. A touch of red pepper flakes is optional, but it adds a gentle warmth that elevates pasta sauces, roasted vegetables, focaccia, and grilled meats alike. Once mixed, it keeps in an airtight jar for up to six months, so you can batch it out and reach for it all season long. It's the kind of pantry staple that, once you make it yourself, you'll never want to buy pre-made again.
