Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Essential Components
  • 1 cup Coarse Sea Salt Aim for high-quality coarse sea salt.
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh Rosemary (finely chopped) Always choose fresh rosemary for maximum flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon Lemon Zest Adds brightness to the salt.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 200°F (93°C). The low temperature preserves the flavor of the rosemary while drying the salt.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the coarse sea salt, finely chopped rosemary, and lemon zest. Ensure an even distribution of ingredients.
  3. Spread the mixture evenly on a baking sheet. The layout should allow airflow to dry the salt without clumping together.
Baking
  1. Bake for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Keep an eye on it; you’re looking for a slight dryness without browning.
  2. Once dried, remove from the oven and let it cool completely. This step is crucial for texture.
  3. Transfer to an airtight container for storage.

Notes

Store your homemade rosemary salt in an airtight container in a cool, dark place to retain its flavor for longer. You can revive the freshness by reheating lightly in the oven or air fryer.
