Ingredients

  • 1 lemon zested
  • 1 cup fresh rosemary
  • 4 cups sea salt

Instructions

  • Zest the entire lemon, making sure only to get the yellow rind, and not the bitter white pith.
  • Clean the fresh rosemary, just to make sure no stems have made it into the batch.
  • Add sea salt, rosemary and lemon zest to a food processor.  Pulse until the rosemary and lemon zest are fully incorporated.
  • Spread onto a foil-lined sheet pan.  Bake in a 250ºF oven for 1 hour, stirring at the 30-minute mark.
  • Let cool, and store in an air-tight container.

Notes

  • Baking the sea salt allows for the zest and rosemary to fully dehydrate and infuse its flavors into the salt.
  • Play with the ratios of lemon zest, sea salt and rosemary, and adjust to your liking.  There's no wrong way!
