Rosemary Salt
If you have an abundance of rosemary in your garden, of course you'll use some fresh. You may make rosemary infused oil with some. You'll dry some to use in cooking. And if you love good seasoned salts, you'll make rosemary salt.
Fresh rosemary sprigs, straight from the garden, washed and ready to dry
It's simple, and so quick you won't believe it, because the rosemary is dried in the microwave!
Yes, the microwave, and in just two minutes.
Rosemary Salt
4 sprigs fresh rosemary about 15cm long
1 tablespoon salt*
Lay the rosemary on paper towel and place in the microwave.
Cook on HIGH (1000 watt) for two minutes, in 30 second bursts. Flip the sprigs every 30 seconds so they dry completely. When you open the microwave, it will be steamy - this is normal, don't panic.

Rosemary sprigs in the microwave, on a paper towel. Two minutes and they're ready to powder.
The rosemary should be crisp, indicating it is completely dry.
Remove the leaves from the sprigs and using your fingers, crunch them into a powder. If you have a mortar and pestle or a spice grinder you can powder the rosemary right down. I prefer the powder to have a little texture.
Combine with the salt. Store in a clean, air-tight jar.
