Step-by-Step Instructions for Carrabba’s Bread Dipping Oil
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed red pepper flakes, freshly cracked black pepper, dried oregano, basil, parsley, and rosemary. Add garlic powder, onion powder, coarse sea salt, and minced fresh garlic. Stir well to create a fragrant spice blend.
  2. In a shallow dish, place about 1 tablespoon of the spice blend. Slowly pour in the extra virgin olive oil over the spices and gently stir for about 30 seconds until the spices are incorporated.
  3. Taste your Carrabba’s Bread Dipping Oil and adjust the seasoning by adding more salt or crushed red pepper if desired.
  4. Serve the Carrabba’s Bread Dipping Oil immediately with warm bread like ciabatta or focaccia.
  5. Transfer any leftover spice blend to an airtight container for later use, mixing it with fresh garlic and olive oil to recreate the dip.
