Equipment

1 Food Processor
1 Baking sheet
1 Parchment paper
1 Airtight jar for storage

Ingredients

2 cups coarse sea salt
4 sprigs fresh rosemary, stems removed

Instructions

Measure the coarse sea salt into a food processor.
Strip the rosemary needles from the stems.
Add the rosemary to the food processor with the salt.
Pulse 5 to 10 times, until the rosemary is finely chopped and evenly distributed throughout the salt.
Spread the mixture in a thin layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Allow the rosemary salt to air dry for at least 4 hours, or overnight, stirring occasionally, until completely dry.
Transfer to an airtight container and store in a cool, dry place.

Notes

If using dried rosemary, substitute 2 to 3 tablespoons and skip the drying step.
Fresh rosemary creates the most vibrant flavor and color.
If using dried rosemary, there is no need to dry the finished mixture before storing.
Rosemary herbal salt is delicious sprinkled over roasted potatoes, chicken, focaccia, grilled vegetables, and buttered bread.
Package it in a small jar with a handwritten tag for an easy homemade gift.
