Garlic and Herb Bread Dipping Oil
An irresistibly savory blend of herbs and spices make up this shelf-stable blend. Mix it with some sautéed garlic and olive oil and you have a bread dipping oil that tastes even better than the one that comes with bread at a fancy Italian restaurant!

Ingredients
Seasoning blend
- 1 Tbsp dried basil
- 1 Tbsp dried oregano
- 1 Tbsp dried parsley
- 2 tsp coarse black pepper if using fine ground, use less
- 1 1/2 tsp dried minced onion
- 1 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp red pepper flakes
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1/2 tsp dried rosemary
To serve
- 3 cloves garlic pressed or very finely minced
- sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/3 - 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil or more or less, it's up to you
Instructions
Combine seasonings
- Combine dried basil, dried oregano, dried parsley, black pepper, dried minced onion, kosher salt, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, dried thyme, and dried rosemary in a small mixing bowl and stir to mix well.
- Transfer mixture to spice jar, or other airtight container, and store for up to 6 months.
Cup of Yum
To serve
- Add a small drizzle of olive oil to a small skillet and heat over MED LOW heat. Add minced or pressed garlic and cook, stirring often, for several minutes, or until lightly golden and soft - be careful not to walk away as it can burn if left unattended for a long time.
- Add cooked garlic to a small plate or shallow bowl, then top with about 1 Tbsp of the spice mix and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese. Add about 1/3 - 1/2 cup olive oil and stir well to combine.
- Serve with crusty bread and enjoy!
Notes
- I've estimated that this recipe will make approximately 6 Tbsp of the seasoning blend, with a serving being 1 Tbsp, which makes up approximately 6 servings.
- If you don't have dried minced onion, but have onion powder, that will also work. Just reduce the amount down to 3/4 tsp.
