Ingredients

2 tablespoons fennel seeds

1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon dried basil
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to taste for spice)
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground sage
1/2 teaspoon thyme

Instructions

In a dry skillet, toast the fennel seeds over medium heat for about 2-3 minutes until they become fragrant. This will enhance their flavor!

🌱 Be sure to keep an eye on them, as they can burn quickly!

Once toasted, let the fennel seeds cool for a moment, then grind them in a spice grinder or mortar and pestle until finely ground.
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground fennel with the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, oregano, basil, black pepper, red pepper flakes, salt, sage, and thyme. Stir well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.

🔄 You can customize the amounts of herbs and spices based on your personal preference!

Store the seasoning in an airtight container in a cool, dark place. It will last for up to 6 months if kept sealed!

Usage

To make Italian sausage, mix 2-3 tablespoons of this seasoning with 1 pound of ground pork or turkey. Form into patties or links and cook until browned and cooked through.

🍳 You can also use this seasoning to season vegetables, soups, or even sprinkle on pizzas!

Variations

Sweet Italian Sausage: Add 1 tablespoon of brown sugar for sweetness and a hint of caramelization while cooking.
Hot Italian Sausage: Increase the amount of red pepper flakes to bring a fiery kick to your sausage.
Herb-Driven: Substitute fresh herbs for dried ones if you have them on hand. Use three times as much fresh herbs for a fresher taste!
Meatless: Mix with plant-based ground meat alternatives for a delicious meat-free version of Italian sausage!

Decadent flavors are just a sprinkle away! Enjoy your culinary adventures with this delightful Italian sausage seasoning! 🍽️✨
