Rosemary Salt

Cookware Used

COSORI stainless steel food dehydrator with glass front door and multiple drying trays

COSORI Premium 6-Tray Stainless Steel Food Dehydrator

Elevate your everyday seasoning with this fragrant homemade rosemary salt, easily made in the dehydrator. Fresh rosemary is gently dried to preserve its earthy, piney aroma, then blended with coarse salt to create a simple yet deeply flavorful finishing touch.  

Perfect for sprinkling over roasted vegetables, meats, or even warm bread, this herb-infused salt adds a gourmet twist to any dish. Once you make your own, it’s a pantry staple you’ll reach for again and again.

How To Pick Rosemary

Harvest fresh rosemary by cutting 6–8-inch green stems using sharp shears, ideally in the morning. Cut just above a leaf node or woody intersection to promote bushier growth, avoiding cutting into old, woody branches.

Ingredient Swaps

You can swap rosemary for another herb, such as thyme or oregano.

Instructions

  1. Place the rosemary sprigs evenly between food dehydrator trays, ensuring they don’t overlap. 
  2. Set temperature to 110°F and time to 12 hours, then tap Start/Stop
  3. Remove the rosemary when the leaves are dried and brittle. Allow the rosemary to cool to room temperature. 
  4. Place the rosemary in a spice grinder or food processor and blend until finely ground.  
  5. Place the ground rosemary, ½ cup salt, and lemon zest (if using) in a bowl and massage together using your hands to infuse the rosemary and lemon into the salt.  
  6. Store the rosemary salt in an airtight container and use as a seasoning or as a finishing salt for items such as beef, lamb, pork, chicken, fish, vegetables, or focaccia bread. 

Chef Notes: Rosemary is fully dehydrated when the needles are crisp, brittle, and snap easily, rather than bending. The needles should fall off the woody stem with light pressure.
