Italian Seasoning
by This post may contain affiliate links.
Homemade Italian seasoning is an easy recipe to mix up for chicken marinades, seasoning veggies and adding to pasta sauces. It’s whole 30, vegan and gluten free!
I’ve been making my own Taco Seasoning for years, but lately I’ve started filling my pantry with all of my favorite seasoning blends.
I love keeping French Onion Dip Mix and Ranch Seasoning Mix on hand to easily make my own dips! I always use homemade Fajita Seasoning and Chili Seasoning to spice up my fajitas and chili recipes. And I always have my own Pumpkin Pie Spice in the pantry during the fall and winter months!
The taco seasoning is perfect in this easy Crock Pot Taco Soup. And the French Onion Dip Mix makes the most delicious Instant Pot French Onion Pot Roast.
The Pumpkin Pie Spice is a wonderful addition to this Apple Crumble recipe. And Italian seasoning is great for adding to pasta sauces, roasted veggies and lots of authentic Italian recipes.

How do you make it?
Simply combine the following ingredients in a small bowl or mason jar.
- dried basil

How long does it last?
The seasoning will last 6 months stored in a half pint mason jar in the pantry. After 6 months, it’s still safe to use but will lose some of it’s flavor, so I do recommend making a fresh batch after 6 months.

How many tablespoons of this mix would equal 1 packet of Italian dressing mix? And, what would you mix it with to make Italian dressing?
Thank you,
Michele
Hi Michele, a packet is usually about 1 oz, which is 2 tbsp of the mix. To make Italian dressing, mix 1/4 cup white vinegar with 2/3 cup olive oil, 2 tbsp water and 2 tbsp of the Italian seasoning mix. Enjoy!
