Copycat Carrabba’s Olive Oil Bread Dip

If you love Carrabba’s Italian Restaurant, you know the bread and dipping oil is legendary. Honestly, I could be perfectly happy with just a loaf of fresh bread, a glass of wine, and this olive oil dip!

This copycat recipe lets you bring that same savory, aromatic experience to your own table in just 5 minutes.

Ingredients You’ll Need

This dip combines a mix of dried and fresh spices for maximum flavor. Here’s what you’ll need:

  • 1 tbsp crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1 tbsp freshly cracked black pepper
  • 1 tbsp dried oregano
  • 1 tbsp dried basil
  • 1 tbsp dried parsley
  • 1 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp dried rosemary
  • 1 1/2 tsp coarse sea salt
  • 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced or crushed
  • Extra virgin olive oil

Pro Tips:

  • Olive Oil: Use a high-quality olive oil; it’s the star of the show. California olive oils are a great choice.
  • Salt & Seasonings: Coarse salt brings out flavor without overpowering it. Mix fresh herbs with dried for extra depth. Add extras like thyme, a dash of balsamic, or grated parmesan if desired.
  • Serving: For the best results, serve with hearty breads that soak up the oil—focaccia, Italian loaf, sourdough, French bread, naan, or pita are all excellent options.

How to Make It

  1. Combine all spices and garlic in a bowl and mix thoroughly.
  2. To serve immediately, place about 1 tbsp of the spice mixture into a shallow bowl and pour 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil over it.
  3. Serve with your favorite bread for dipping.

Storage Tip:
Store any leftover spice mixture in an airtight container for future use.

Fun Serving Ideas

  • Bread Dipping: Tear or slice crusty bread and dip into the olive oil mixture.
  • DIY Gifts: Spoon into small mason jars, tie with festive twine, and gift as a homemade, gourmet treat. Label it as “Bread Dipping Oil” for the perfect hostess gift.

Enjoy the warm, fragrant, and irresistible flavors of Carrabba’s right at home!
