Another day and another spice blend!

Are you excited? I am! This time it’s a simple from-scratch Tuscan seasoning blend. A little basil and a lot rosemary, but the crushed fennel is truly what makes this seasoning so satisfying. I’m still loving these jars and as I’ve been replenishing my spice blends, I’ve transferred them into these cute squatty jars.

Worth keeping this seasoning blend! It’s extremely well-seasoned and aromatic and reliable for poultry or seafood and vegetables before roasting. I’m going to sharing a few recipes that uses this tuscan seasoning, so stay tuned!

And in the meantime here’s a list of 20+ from-scratch seasoning blends and spice mixes for you to try!

For this tuscan seasoning blend gather:

• crushed rosemary
• dried basil
• dried thyme
• marjoram
• onion powder
• garlic powder
• fennel seeds

There’s no right or wrong brand. I will first say, buy what you can afford. However, not all spices are created equal as you tend to get what you pay for. Currently I use Morton & Bassett (not sponsored) because I find their spices to be top notch in texture, color and flavor. Worth keeping and respect what their company stands for not only with charitable work but also quality control. With that said some other pleasing brands I’ve used over the years are Simple Organic, Frontier Co-op and Penzys.

Start by placing the fennel seeds into a mortar and use the pestle to smash them in to bits.

Alternatively, you could put them in a half-sealed plastic baggie and use a mallet to crush them or use a spice grinder.

Next measure in the crushed rosemary, dried basil, thyme, marjoram, onion powder, garlic powder and crushed fennel seeds.

Stir to combine.

Store the Tuscan seasoning blend in an airtight container or small jar and in a cool dry place for 1 to 2 years.
