I love recipes like this because they don’t require much. A few fresh herbs, some garlic, and salt can turn into something you’ll reach for over and over again in the kitchen.
The rosemary gives the salt a wonderful woodsy flavor, while the garlic adds just enough savory goodness to make it useful on everything from roasted potatoes to vegetables, chicken, and homemade bread.
It’s also a great way to use up extra rosemary from the garden before the season changes.
What You’ll Need
- Fresh rosemary
- Fresh garlic
- Coarse sea salt
How to Make Garlic Rosemary Herb Salt
Strip the rosemary leaves from the stems and roughly chop them. Peel the garlic and chop it into small pieces.
Add the rosemary, garlic, and sea salt to a food processor and pulse until the herbs and garlic are finely chopped and evenly incorporated into the salt.
Spread the mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and let it dry completely. You can let it air-dry for several days, stirring occasionally, or use a very low oven to speed things along.
Once completely dry, store the herb salt in an airtight jar.
