I picked up a packet of thyme for a recipe and ended up using just 5 sprigs. That leaves me with 60 sprigs! Any ideas on how to use the rest?

    You could use the leftover thyme in various ways! Here are some ideas:

    1. Seasoning: Add it to soups, stews, or sauces for extra flavor.
    2. Roasted Vegetables: Toss it with your favorite vegetables before roasting.
    3. Marinades: Create a marinade for chicken, fish, or tofu using thyme, garlic, lemon, and olive oil.
    4. Herb Butter: Mix it into softened butter for a delicious compound butter to use on bread or vegetables.
    5. Infused Oils: Add the thyme to olive oil for a herb-infused oil that can be drizzled on salads or used for cooking.
    6. Tea: You can steep fresh thyme in hot water for a fragrant herbal tea.
    7. Freezing: If you can’t use it all, consider freezing the sprigs. They can easily be added to dishes later on.

    Get creative and enjoy the fresh flavor!
