Homemade Italian Seasoning Blend: Authentic Flavor in Minutes

This homemade Italian seasoning blend is quick to make with common pantry herbs. Use it to add bright, savory flavor to pizza, meatballs, salad dressings, garlic bread and more.

Making your own spice blends is simple and convenient. When you mix your own Italian seasoning you control the flavor and ingredients, and you avoid extra trips to the store. Combine a handful of dried herbs, store them in an airtight jar, and your custom seasoning is ready for the spice rack.
