Soy Free Italian Herb Blend
Store-bought seasoning blends can be a quiet source of frustration when you're avoiding soy, since fillers, anti-caking agents, and even natural flavor additives sometimes sneak in unexpected ingredients. Making your own means you know exactly what's in the jar — and in this case, it's nothing but pure, fragrant dried herbs. Oregano, basil, thyme, rosemary, marjoram, and optional sage and red pepper flakes come together in a blend that smells like a Tuscan kitchen and tastes like it too. The small step of crumbling the rosemary by hand before mixing is a nice touch that makes the texture consistent and the blend genuinely pleasant to cook with. Stir it into pasta sauce, rub it onto roasted vegetables, or shake it over focaccia dough — it pulls its weight in almost any savory application. Stored in an airtight jar in a cool, dark spot, a single batch will keep for up to six months, so you can make it once and reach for it all season long.
