Instructions

  1. Place dried basil, thyme, oregano, rosemary, and red pepper flakes in a bowl. Pour in the olive oil. Give it a mix.
  2. Add in the garlic, lemon juice, and parmesan cheese. Stir to combine and serve with crusty bread on the side.

Notes

  • you can store the oil mixture for up to 5 days in an airtight container in the fridge. If using fresh herbs and fresh garlic, I would recommend storing it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
  • While we listed salt as an ingredient, it is best to taste the mixture first before adding it, especially if you are using Parmesan cheese since it can already be quite salty.
  • If you have the time, let it rest in the fridge for an hour or so. Doing so helps the flavors to meld together.
  • Yields: This bread dip oli recipe makes a cup of dipping oil, which is ideal for 6 servings when served as an appetizer with bread on the side. The calorie information below is per serving.
  • Fresh herbs: If you are growing your own herbs, you can use fresh herbs instead of dried herbs following the measurements below. Be sure to chop them before using in the recipe.

    1 tablespoon fresh basil 1 teaspoon fresh oregano 1/2 teaspoon fresh thyme 1/4 teaspoon fresh rosemary

  • 1 tablespoon fresh basil

  • 1/4 teaspoon fresh rosemary
  • Storage: If you are making this recipe using dried herbs, you can store the oil mixture for up to 5 days in an airtight container in the fridge. If using fresh herbs and fresh garlic, I would recommend storing it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
