Paleo Italian Herb Blend
A good spice blend is one of the quietest powerhouses in any kitchen, and this Italian herb mix delivers serious depth with nothing but dried herbs. Every ingredient — oregano, basil, thyme, rosemary, marjoram, and optional sage and red pepper flakes — is completely whole-food and plant-based, making it a natural fit for grain-free, legume-free cooking. Store-bought seasoning blends can be surprisingly tricky, sometimes hiding fillers, anti-caking agents, or flavor additives that have no business being in a jar of herbs. Making your own means you know exactly what's going in, and the result is fresher and more aromatic than anything sitting on a grocery shelf for months. The small step of crumbling the rosemary by hand before mixing is worth it — it keeps the texture consistent so every pinch of the blend has balanced flavor. Stir it together, seal it in a jar, and you've got a go-to seasoning for roasted vegetables, grilled meats, cauliflower pizza crusts, or anything else that needs a hit of the Mediterranean. It keeps for up to six months, so one quick batch pays off for a long time.
