Course Spices
Servings 1 16 oz Mason Jar

Equipment

  • Food Processor or Blender
  • Oven (Only if you want to speed up the process)

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup salt (coarse or fine sea salt)
  • 2-3 sprigs fresh rosemary (or dried)

Instructions

  • If you are using fresh rosemary, spread the mixture evenly over a baking sheet, cover with aluminum foil and leave it out to dry for a fat least 3-4 hours. If you need to speed up the process, you can bake for 20 minutes at 200º F / 95º C.
  • Once the rosemary salt is dry, put it into a sealed airtight container and store it in a cool and dry place.

Notes

It is better to use fresh rosemary leaves since it will give a stronger flavor than dried rosemary. Use dried rosemary leaves if you are in a rush, or you are out of fresh rosemary. If you use dried rosemary, you'll make your flavored salt in 10 minutes since you can skip the drying process of 4 hours.
Coarse salt, since it has bigger granules, is better to use in dishes where adding a salty and flavorful contrast is ideal. Use coarse salt if you are going to sprinkle on top of a steak, pork roast, roasted or grilled chicken, bread, cooked eggs, roasted vegetables like potatoes, fresh tomatoes, avocado toast, etc.
