Homemade seasoning mixes, like this Italian seasoning, or taco seasoning, are the best to make because you control exactly what goes into them.

Oftentimes I’ll buy a seasoning mix and be so impressed with it then realize it has sugar or some mystery ingredient that I’m not a fan of.

I get it, buying the pre-made mixes is definitely easier, but mix up a batch of this Italian seasoning and you should be all set for months. And you can be proud to say it’s homemade.

So, go take a peek into your spice cabinet and let’s get started.

WHAT’S IN ITALIAN SEASONING?

Italian seasoning is a blend of dried herbs and spices – usually marjoram, basil, oregano, rosemary, thyme… like to leave out salt & red pepper flakes so I can customize those flavors based on whichever dish I’m making.

TOOLS FOUND ON AMAZON TO HELP YOU:

  • Spice Rack – If you don’t already have a well stock spice cabinet, buying a countertop spice tower is a great way to get a head start. I often see them at Costco and Sam’s Club, too.
  • Glass Spice Jars – You’ll need cute little jars to store your homemade spice mixes.
  • Whisk – Optional, but I like to use a whisk to fully combine all the spices.
