Air Fryer FAQ
What is Italian seasoning blend?
Italian seasoning blends can be found in the spice aisle of most major grocery stores.
It is usually a combination of dried basil, oregano, rosemary, marjoram, and thyme.
Be sure to check the label to see if there’s any extra salt. Avoid those blends because it’s easier to control the salt content yourself.
