1 cup of coarse sea salt
3-4 sprigs of fresh rosemary
1 tbsp of dried rosemary (optional, for added intensity)

Prepare the Rosemary

The key to a robust rosemary flavor lies in the preparation of your herb. Follow these steps:

Rinse the fresh rosemary sprigs under cold water to remove any dirt or debris.
Pat them dry thoroughly with a clean kitchen towel. Excess moisture can cause clumping and affect the salt's texture.
Strip the leaves from the woody stems, discarding the stems. You should have about 1/4 to 1/3 cup of rosemary leaves.

Combine the Ingredients

Now it's time to combine your ingredients and create your rosemary salt:

In a food processor, combine the fresh rosemary leaves, dried rosemary (if using), and coarse sea salt.
Pulse the mixture until the rosemary is finely chopped and well incorporated with the salt. Be careful not to over-process, as you want to maintain some texture.
Taste the mixture and adjust the seasoning if necessary. You can add more salt or rosemary depending on your preference.

Store and Use Your Rosemary Salt

To use, simply sprinkle the rosemary salt onto your chips, or use it as a seasoning for roasted vegetables, grilled meats, or even popcorn.
