e should all be enjoying more garlic bread in our lives, yes? It’s the perfect partner to cozy stews and hearty lasagna, and the only acceptable side to a plate of spaghetti and meatballs. To get it on our tables more often, I’ve created a way to make it in a fraction of the time: a cheesy make-ahead seasoning blend, with no fresh garlic required.

While you can sometimes find a store-bought version on your supermarket’s spice rack, making your own garlic bread seasoning couldn’t be easier, and it’s guaranteed to be fresher. Simply mix garlic powder with kosher salt, dried parsley flakes, dried Italian seasoning, and grated Parmesan cheese in a bowl or lidded jar. That’s it! Coarsely grated store-bought or shelf-stable Parmesan is actually preferable to freshly grated here — the flecks of herbs will remain evenly distributed and the cheese won’t clump when stored.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup store-bought or shelf-stable grated Parmesan cheese (3 ounces)
  • 3 tablespoons garlic powder
  • 2 teaspoons dried parsley flakes
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning

Instructions

  1. Place 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 3 tablespoons garlic powder, 2 teaspoons dried parsley flakes, 2 teaspoons kosher salt, and 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning in a medium bowl and whisk to combine. Transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate up to 3 months.
