Homemade Rosemary Salt
Infused salt is an easy way to elevate the flavor of your favorite dinner recipe or snack. Sprinkle this flavored salt on steak, fish, eggs or vegetables. Rosemary salt is delicious in olive oil with bread for dipping or a pinch on your crusty slice of bread and butter.
Ingredients
- ½ cup sea salt flakes
- ¾ cup rosemary leaves, removed from stalks, divided
- Zest from 1 lemon
Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven to 200°F.
- Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil; the foil will make it easy to pour into the grinder later.
- Mix the salt, ½ cup rosemary and lemon zest on one side of the foil-lined tray.
- Place only ¼ cup rosemary on the other side of the tray.
- Be very careful not to mix these two piles together at this point.
- Place in the pre-heated oven for 20 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and let cool to room temperature.
- Form foil into a funnel for an easy and mess-free pour into a coffee grinder.
- Add the salt, ½ cup rosemary, and lemon zest to a coffee grinder and coarsely blend.
- Be careful not to over grind or you’ll end up with powder; pour into an airtight container.
- Blend remaining ¼ cup rosemary in coffee grinder until it becomes a powder.
- Pour into the same container with the coarse salt mixture, cover and shake to blend.
- Store in an air-tight container.
