Homemade flavored salt adds a punch of flavor to all your dishes.

The recipe couldn’t be easier! Combine the sea salt, garlic, fresh rosemary and fresh thyme in a food processor and pulse. Spread the mixture in a thin layer on a baking tray and bake for 20 minutes. Transfer the homemade flavored salt in an airtight container or in a glass jar with a tight-fitting lid and store in a cool, dry place.

Salt is a natural preserver, it will last forever as long as it’s dried completely before packaging and properly stored. However, I advise you to use it within 6 months as the intensity of flavor will diminish over time.

You can customize aromatic salt according to your taste. Replace thyme with sage or basil, add some spices, citrus peel, increase the amount of herbs, etc

Sprinkle this garlic and herbs homemade flavored sea salt on meat, poultry, fish, pasta, grilled vegetables, french fries, burgers… just use it in place of regular salt.
