Artificial Food Coloring Free Italian Seasoning
Homemade spice blends are one of those small kitchen wins that make a surprisingly big difference, and this one delivers serious flavor with almost zero effort. Store-bought Italian seasoning can be a sneaky source of unwanted additives — some brands use anti-caking agents or fillers that may contain synthetic dyes or artificial ingredients you'd rather avoid. When you mix it yourself from pure dried herbs, you know exactly what's going into every pinch. Oregano, basil, thyme, rosemary, and marjoram come together in a blend that smells incredible and tastes even better on pasta, roasted vegetables, grilled chicken, or homemade pizza dough. The optional sage adds a subtle earthiness, while a pinch of red pepper flakes gives it a gentle kick if you like a little heat. It stores beautifully in an airtight jar for up to a year, so one quick batch keeps your pantry stocked and your meals flavorful for months to come.
