This mixed herb seasoning is an easy homemade blend you’ll want to sprinkle on everything. With garlic powder, onion flakes, parsley, rosemary, oregano, and a touch of heat from red pepper flakes, it adds instant flavor to meats, veggies, soups, and more.
Skip the store-bought mix and make this fresh, customizable seasoning in minutes. Also try my lemon pepper seasoning if you love homemade spice mixes.
Making versatile seasoning blends from scratch is my latest obsession. It all started with making my garlic parsley salt and citrus salt from scratch, and once I realized how quick and easy it was, there was no going back to the store-bought, packaged seasonings ever.
I recently tried my hands a mixed herb salt, and it was the best, most versatile seasoning ever! And that inspired me to make another low-salt mixed herb blend.
