🗒️ Ingredient Notes
Fresh rosemary: Fresh rosemary produces the most flavorful rosemary salt, as well as adds a beautiful green color. Having said that, you can make rosemary salt with dried rosemary instead without any further changes needed to the process. When using dried rosemary, use 2 tablespoons per 1 cup of salt.
Sea salt: A nice sea salt free of any additives will produce the best rosemary salt. Coarse sea salt not only produces the best flavor in my opinion but also gives you more control on how coarse you would like thee finished salt to be.

I am excited to make this. I never thought of making rosemary salt as a homemade spice blend – but we use fresh rosemary all the time on potatoes, or roasted veggies. Thanks for the idea. I think I’m going to make a series of spice blends as Christmas gifts for my kids and husband as we all love to
cook!
