  • Total Time: 10
  • Yield: 1/2 cup (4-6 servings) 1x
  • Diet: Vegetarian

Description

A restaurant-quality copycat recipe of Carrabba’s famous herb-infused olive oil for dipping bread. This Mediterranean-inspired blend features garlic, oregano, and Italian herbs mixed with extra virgin olive oil, ready in just minutes with no cooking required.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano
  • 1 tablespoon dried basil
  • 1 tablespoon dried parsley
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, combine all the dried herbs and spices: oregano, basil, parsley, garlic powder, onion powder, rosemary, red pepper flakes, black pepper, and salt.
  2. Pour the extra virgin olive oil into a shallow serving dish or small bowl.
  3. Add the herb and spice mixture to the olive oil.
  4. Stir gently to combine all ingredients.
  5. Let the mixture sit for at least 5-10 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse into the oil.
  6. If using, sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top just before serving.
  7. Serve with warm crusty Italian bread for dipping.

Notes

  • For best flavor, let the oil sit for 30 minutes before serving to allow herbs to fully infuse
  • Store any leftover herb mixture (without oil) in an airtight container for up to 3 months
  • Use high-quality extra virgin olive oil for the best taste
  • Fresh herbs can be substituted but use three times the amount
  • The oil tastes even better the next day after flavors have fully melded
  • Adjust red pepper flakes to your preferred spice level
  • This makes a great homemade gift when packaged in a decorative jar
