What is Greek Seasoning Made Of?
This Greek seasoning is the best combination of savory and aromatic! You can find the measurements I used for each of these ingredients below in the recipe card, but feel free to add more or less to your liking! Customizing your blend is the best part of this recipe.
- Dried Onion Flakes: Add sharp, savory flavor.
- Garlic Powder: Adding garlic is a must for a pop of savory flavor.
- Dried Oregano: Has the best sweet, peppery flavor. It also adds great texture!
- Dried Basil: Basil is perfectly bright and minty.
- Dried Dill Weed: Dill weed gives this seasoning the perfect zesty flavor.
- Dried Marjoram: Marjoram has delicate flavor and is nice and aromatic.
- Dried Thyme: Thyme is earthy and minty, perfect for Greek dishes!
- Salt and Cracked Black Pepper: Enhances the overall flavor of the seasoning.
- Ground Cinnamon and Nutmeg: (Optional) You can add these in if you want your seasoning to have a hint of warm spice.
Can I Use Fresh Herbs?
This is one of the few times that I don’t recommend using fresh herbs because your blend won’t last as long. Dried herbs have a much longer shelf life than using fresh herbs. Because of their high moisture content, fresh herbs may grow mold early on.
