Using fresh thyme in a recipe can really enhance the flavor of dishes, but it's not always available. Fortunately, dried thyme offers the same herby, earthy aroma and taste that we enjoy from fresh thyme. The equivalent substitution for 1 teaspoon of fresh thyme is only 1/4 teaspoon of dried thyme - much less! So if you're ever in a pinch without any fresh herbs in your pantry, use dried thyme as a suitable replacement for great results.
