Time 4h5m

Yield 1/2 Cup, 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 teaspoons olive oil
1/4 cup fresh parsley
1/4 cup fresh oregano
1/4 cup fresh rosemary
1/4 cup fresh thyme
1/4 cup purple onion, chopped
1/4 cup red bell pepper, chopped
2 tablespoons sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon course black pepper

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 250 degrees. Toss herbs and seasonings in olive oil. Spread ingredients in a single layer on a nonstick pan. Place in oven for 4 to 5 hours or until the blend is dry; watch carefully so they do not burn. Cool, then use a coffee grinder or food processor to reduce the blend to a powder. Store in a sterilized air tight container. If you use a food dehydrator instead of the oven, follow the appliance directions for drying herbs.
