🧊 The Hack: Herb-Infused Olive Oil Cubes

What You’ll Need:

• Ice cube tray (silicone works best)

• Leftover herbs (think basil, thyme, rosemary, parsley, oregano, etc.)

• Extra virgin olive oil

Here’s how to do it:

1. Chop Your Herbs:
   Roughly chop them—no need to be perfect.

2. Fill the Tray:
   Place about 1 tablespoon of herbs into each section of the ice cube tray.

3. Pour in Olive Oil:
   Fill each section with enough olive oil to cover the herbs completely.

4. Freeze:
   Place the tray in the freezer and let it set overnight.

5. Store:
   Once frozen, pop out the cubes and store them in a ziplock bag or airtight container in the freezer.

🍳 How to Use Them:

• Toss one into a pan before sautéing veggies or meat

• Melt a cube into pasta or rice for instant flavor

• Rub onto bread before toasting for quick herbed crostini

• Add to soups or stews for a rich, aromatic base
