Thoroughly wash herbs. Then remove all leaves from the stems.
This is the oregano.
Once leaves have been removed, let them dry. A salad spinner will come in handy here.
This is the basil.
The herb leaves can then be chopped in a mini food processor/chopper with a few tablespoons of evoo. We probably could have used a bit more oil but just make sure the herbs will be able to hold their shape. I formed the herbs into small little chips** on a cookie sheet and froze for four hours. Once the chips are frozen I placed them into a small ziploc bag which is now stored in the freezer and ready for some winter cooking!
**Other options I researched were to use ice cube forms or freeze the herbs in one block and break off small amounts whenever you need it. I don't have an ice cube form so I thought these small chips would be a great substitute.
