8 servings
- ½ cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 ½ tsp smoked paprika
- ½ tsp sweet paprika
- ½ tsp dried oregano
- ½ tsp dried thyme
- ¼ tsp red pepper flakes
- ¼ tsp fine salt
- 1 tbsp fresh flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
Ingredient noteLow residue diets limit fibrous leafy greens and herbs. Parsley is used here only as a small amount of chopped fresh herb for seasoning, so it is likely low residue. If you prefer to always avoid fresh parsley, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- 1 tsp fresh lemon juice
Ingredient noteFruit juice contains far less fiber than whole fruit, so the lemon juice used here leaves little residue. If you prefer to always avoid lemon juice, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- 1 tsp lemon zest (optional)
Ingredient noteLow residue diets limit citrus peel because of its fiber. The recipe uses only about 1/8 teaspoon of finely grated lemon zest per serving, so it is likely Low Residue. If you prefer to always avoid lemon peel, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
Instructions
- 1
Combine the olive oil, smoked paprika, sweet paprika, dried oregano, dried thyme, red pepper flakes, and salt in a small saucepan over low heat. Warm gently, stirring once or twice, until the oil is fragrant and the paprika blooms into a deep red, about 3–4 minutes — watch closely, as the spices can scorch quickly at higher heat.

Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the oil cool for 5 minutes, then stir in the fresh parsley, lemon juice, and lemon zest, if using.
