Why Make Your Own Seasoning?
Store-bought seasonings can be convenient, but they often contain unnecessary preservatives, additives, or excess salt. Crafting your own blend gives you complete control over the ingredients and flavors, ensuring a fresher and more vibrant taste. Plus, you can easily customize it to suit your preferences!
Ingredients for the Perfect Blend
- 1 TB dried rosemary
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 3 tsp dried oregano
- 1 TB onion powder
- 1 TB garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (adjust to taste for heat preference)
- 2 TB dried parsley
Instructions
- In a mortar or spice grinder, combine the dried rosemary, black pepper, dried oregano, dried parsley, onion powder, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes.
- Grind or mix until the texture is consistent and well blended.
How to Use Your Spaghetti Seasoning
Add 1 tablespoon of the seasoning blend at a time to your spaghetti sauce, stirring well. Taste after each addition and continue adding more until the flavor reaches your desired level. Be sure to check your sauce for salt as well, as this recipe does not include added salt—allowing you to control sodium levels based on personal preference.
More Than Just Spaghetti Sauce
This versatile seasoning isn’t just for spaghetti sauce. Use it to season meatballs, sprinkle over garlic bread, or add to marinades for chicken and vegetables. You can even mix it into olive oil for a quick and tasty dipping sauce.
