How to Make Rosemary Salt: Easy Rosemary Salt Recipe

Like other infused salts, rosemary salt is a mixture of rosemary—fresh or dried—and salt that is shelf-stable for several months. Unlike grocery store condiments or herb salt, you can control the quality of ingredients and adjust flavoring to suit your taste when making homemade rosemary salt. Rosemary salt is naturally gluten-free and contains only trace carbohydrates. The flavored salt contains no vitamin A or vitamin C.

Use homemade rosemary salt on meats and vegetables, punch up the flavors of your favorite bread after toasting, or make batches to share with others.

1. 1. Grilling: Add more flavor by liberally sprinkling the infused salt on chicken, pork, or other meats before and after removing from the barbecue.
2. 2. Vegetables: Add the flavored salt to roasted or grilled veggies, or sprinkle atop roasted potatoes with butter or olive oil.
3. 3. Bread topping: Generously coat homemade focaccia with the rosemary salt fresh out of the oven, or add a drizzle of olive oil and the flavored salt to freshly toasted bread for a dinner side.
4. 4. Homemade gifts: Prepare the rosemary salt and place in airtight containers before gifting the DIY condiment.

To make homemade rosemary, follow a ratio of 1 to 1 ½ tablespoons of chopped fresh rosemary leaves to ¼ cup of coarse or kosher salt (table salt is not recommended). You can also use this ratio to make other flavored salts, using different herbs depending on your flavor preferences.
