Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1 tablespoon freshly cracked black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano
  • 1 tablespoon dried basil
  • 1 tablespoon dried parsley
  • 1½ teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1½ teaspoons onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1½ teaspoons coarse sea salt (or kosher salt)
  • 3 cloves fresh garlic, freshly crushed or minced
  • Extra virgin olive oil (approx. 1/3 cup per serving)

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, combine the crushed red pepper, cracked black pepper, oregano, basil, parsley, garlic powder, onion powder, rosemary, sea salt, and crushed garlic.
  2. Mix the spice blend thoroughly.
  3. When ready to serve, scoop about one tablespoon of the dry blend into a shallow dish. Add roughly 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil and stir gently.

Notes

  • Increase red pepper flakes for a spicier version.
