Nightshade Free Italian Seasoning
Making your own spice blend from scratch is one of those small kitchen moves that pays off every single time you reach for it. Store-bought Italian seasoning blends can be a minefield — some contain paprika, chili powder, or other nightshade-derived spices tucked quietly into the mix, making label-reading a frustrating chore. This homemade version keeps things clean and straightforward, built entirely from aromatic herbs like oregano, basil, thyme, rosemary, and marjoram. The result is a deeply fragrant, savory blend that works beautifully on roasted vegetables, grilled meats, pasta, and more. If you want a little heat without reaching for anything nightshade-based, the optional red pepper flakes are there — just leave them out if you need to stay strictly compliant. It comes together in minutes and keeps for up to a year, so one quick batch means months of confident, worry-free seasoning.
