Homemade Greek Seasoning might sound fancy, but it’s really just a handful of pantry spices coming together in a matter of minutes! My secret is a tiny hint of cinnamon, which gives it a lovely warmth and depth. And a little advice: go ahead and double, or even triple the recipe, because it seriously tastes amazing on SO many dishes!
In a small bowl or the jar you'll be storing it in, add oregano, basil, parsley, dill, onion powder, garlic powder, rosemary, thyme, cinnamon, black pepper, and salt, if using. Whisk until well combined.

Notes
Ingredients: It's best if you use all of these spices and herbs for the most flavor. If you don't have them all on hand, see the blog post for substitution ideas.
Oregano: If you can find it, Greek oregano is the best to use. Mexican oregano is milder while Turkish oregano tends to be more potent.
Salt: Leave the salt out, or reduce by half, if you'd like to control the amount added in future recipes.
Yield:This recipe makes ~¼ cup of seasoning mix.
Usage: Use 1-2 tablespoons for every pound of ground meat or vegetables.
Storage: Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place for up to a year. Make sure to whisk before using as the onion and garlic powders have a tendency to settle.
