Homemade Italian Seasoning Mix

With just a few aromatic dried herbs, some savory garlic powder, and a sprinkle of onion powder, you can create a homemade Italian Seasoning mix! Perfect for all of your cozy Italian food favorites. 

Nothing fills your kitchen with the cozy aroma of home cooking quite the way Italian food does. The woodsy spices, the sharp tang of tomatoes, and of course–tons of garlic!

One thing I put in almost every Italian dish I make is Italian seasoning blend. It’s an all-purpose spice mix that complements just about anything, from your could-feed-an-army pasta bakes to a simple sheet pan of roasted veggies. 

I’ve been making my own Italian herb blend for years, as some store-bought Italian herb blends have hidden non-vegan ingredients like cheese powder, anti-caking agents, or refined sugars. Plus, why buy another bottle when you likely have all the components in your spice rack anyhow?

Toss together this aromatic blend of herbs and spices and you’ll be ready to whip up dishes like Baked Ziti, Eggplant Meatballs, and my very Best Vegan Bolognese Sauce. 

Ingredient Notes

• Dried herbs – Different Italian spice blends will vary, but I’ve found my favorite combination of herbs includes: parsley, oregano, basil, thyme, and rosemary. The grassy freshness of parsley balances the more resinous qualities of oregano and thyme. Basil offers a sweetness that no Italian meal would be complete without! And rosemary delivers a pungent earthiness. I first put this recipe on the blog in 2015, and back then I made it without parsley and included dried marjoram and dried ground sage instead, but I have since stuck to the current recipe! 
• Garlic + Onion powder – In addition to the herbs above, these are the only other two spices you need! They give your Italian seasoning blend a savory, grounded base of flavor upon which the more aromatic dried herbs can work their magic. I recommend using the more granular style garlic and onion powder as opposed to the superfine powdery stuff, as it tends to get very clumpy over time.
