Black Pepper Free Italian Seasoning
Making your own spice blend at home is one of those small kitchen moves that pays off every single time you reach for it. Store-bought Italian seasoning blends often sneak in black pepper or are processed on shared equipment where cross-contact is a real concern — this version puts you fully in control. Every herb here is straightforward and easy to find: oregano, basil, thyme, rosemary, and marjoram form the aromatic backbone, with optional sage and red pepper flakes if you want a little extra depth or heat. The result is a fragrant, versatile blend that works beautifully on pasta, roasted vegetables, pizza, grilled chicken, and so much more. It comes together in minutes with nothing more than a bowl and a spoon, and stored in an airtight jar it stays fresh for up to a year. Having a reliable, safe blend on hand means you can season confidently without second-guessing every label at the grocery store.
