Olde Thompson Roasted Garlic & Herb Seasoning
What it is
This is a dried seasoning blend designed to add the savory flavors of roasted garlic and a mix of herbs to your cooking. The roasting process mellows the sharp bite of raw garlic, bringing out a sweeter, deeper taste. The herbs are carefully selected to complement the garlic, creating a well-rounded aromatic profile. It comes in a convenient shaker for easy application.
How people cook with it
This seasoning is a versatile addition to many dishes, offering a quick way to enhance flavor without needing to prepare fresh ingredients.
- Sprinkle on roasted vegetables
- Season grilled chicken or fish
- Mix into dips and dressings
- Add to bread dough or marinara sauce
You can use this seasoning blend generously as a rub for meats before grilling or roasting. It works wonderfully sprinkled over vegetables like potatoes, broccoli, or asparagus before they go into the oven. Stir it into soups, stews, or pasta sauces to deepen their flavor profile. It can also be incorporated into marinades or used to season homemade bread or focaccia. For a quick flavor boost, mix it into butter to create garlic herb butter for toast or corn on the cob.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike fresh garlic and herbs, this blend offers convenience and a consistent flavor. The roasting process gives the garlic a distinct sweetness and less pungency compared to raw garlic. The dried herbs provide a concentrated aroma that infuses dishes readily.

How to keep the rest
To maintain its freshness and potency, store the container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure the lid is tightly closed after each use to prevent moisture from affecting the dried ingredients. This will help preserve the aromatic qualities of the blend.
