Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • ½ cup dehydrated jalapenos (about 10 fresh jalapenos)
  • 1 cup coarse kosher salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Jalapenos: Wash and dice fresh jalapenos. Spread them evenly on a dehydrator tray and dehydrate for 6-10 hours at 125°F, or until they become completely brittle and dry.
  2. Pulse Dehydrated Jalapenos: Place the ½ cup of dehydrated jalapenos into the bowl of your food processor. Pulse 2-3 times to break the jalapenos into smaller pieces. This step is optional if you prefer a coarser jalapeno texture in your salt.
  3. Add Kosher Salt: Add 1 cup of coarse kosher salt to the chopped jalapenos in the food processor.
  4. Combine Jalapenos and Salt: Pulse the mixture until the salt and jalapenos are fully combined and reach the desired texture. Less blending results in larger flakes; more blending yields a finer grind.
  5. Store the Jalapeno Salt: Transfer the prepared jalapeno salt into an airtight container for storage. Use a shaker or salt bowl to add this flavorful salt to your dishes whenever needed.

Notes

  • Dehydrate jalapenos until completely brittle for best texture and longer shelf life.
  • Adjust blending time to control the texture of the jalapeno salt, depending on your preference.
  • Store the jalapeno salt in an airtight container away from moisture to keep it fresh.
  • Use jalapeno salt as a seasoning for meats, vegetables, snacks, or cocktails for a spicy twist.
