Pesto Herb Oil

A vibrant, all-purpose pesto herb oil that infuses fresh, garlicky flavor into pizza, pasta, bread, and more, elevating every dish with a rich, aromatic finish.
Author: Callie

Ingredients

  • 2 cups olive oil  extra virgin or full-bodied
  • 2 tablespoon prepared pesto
  • 2 tablespoon dried basil
  • 2 tablespoon dried parsley
  • 2 tablespoon dried oregano
  • 1 tablespoon fresh or dried rosemary needles
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 2 tablespoon tablespoon granulated garlic or 10 cloves fresh minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon chili pepper flakes optional

Instructions

  • Add all ingredients to a large jar with a tight-fitting lid.
  • Shake or whisk vigorously until well combined.
  • For easy drizzling, transfer the herb oil to a squeeze bottle—perfect for finishing pizzas, focaccia, pasta, and more.
  • Note: Snip the tip of the squeeze bottle close to the rim to prevent herbs from clogging the opening.

Notes

Storage: Keep the herb oil refrigerated in a sealed jar to prevent spoilage.
If the oil solidifies after refrigeration, let it sit at room temperature or place the jar in a bowl of warm water until it returns to liquid form.
