Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Dried basil
- 2 tablespoons Dried oregano
- 1 tablespoon Dried rosemary
- 1 tablespoon Dried thyme
- 1 tablespoon Dried marjoram
- 1 teaspoon Dried sage
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
In a small mixing bowl, combine the dried basil, oregano, rosemary, thyme, marjoram, sage, garlic powder, and crushed red pepper flakes (if using).
Stir the mixture thoroughly to ensure the herbs and spices are evenly distributed.
Using a mortar and pestle or a spice grinder, lightly grind the mixture to break down the larger herbs, such as rosemary, into smaller pieces (this step is optional but recommended for a finer texture).
Transfer the seasoning mix to an airtight jar or container.
Store in a cool, dark place for up to 6 months, giving the jar a shake before each use to recombine the flavors.
