2. Homemade Pizza: Bringing Italy to Your Kitchen
Who doesn't love a piping hot, homemade pizza? Take your pizza game to the next
level by sprinkling Italian seasoning over your pizza sauce or mixing it into the pizza dough. It's the extra burst of Italian flavor that pairs wonderfully with cheese and your favorite toppings.
3. Garlic Bread: The Ultimate Comfort Food
Garlic bread, warm from the oven, is the epitome of comfort food. Elevate your garlic bread game by mixing Italian seasoning with melted butter and minced garlic. Spread this aromatic concoction over slices of baguette or Italian bread and toast to perfection.
4. Italian Salad Dressing: Fresh and Flavorful
For a salad dressing that's anything but ordinary, combine Italian seasoning with olive oil, vinegar, garlic, and a touch of honey. The result is a delightful homemade Italian salad dressing that you can drizzle over a garden salad or pasta salad, transforming it into a culinary masterpiece.
5. Roasted Vegetables: A Flavorful Side Dish
Even simple roasted vegetables become extraordinary when seasoned with Italian seasoning. Toss your favorite veggies—zucchini, bell peppers, cherry tomatoes—in olive oil and Italian seasoning. Roast them until they're tender and slightly caramelized, creating a flavorful side dish that's a perfect complement to any meal.
*Bonus Recipe: Chicken Parmesan
Last but certainly not least, indulge in the classic comfort of Chicken Parmesan. Season chicken cutlets with Italian seasoning, bread and fry them until they're irresistibly crispy.
