Description
This spicy jalapeno salt is a bold, flavorful seasoning made with dried jalapenos and coarse sea salt. It’s perfect for adding heat to meats, vegetables, snacks, and even cocktail rims.
Ingredients
- 3 large jalapeno peppers, sliced thinly
- 1 cup coarse sea salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 200°F (93°C) or prepare a dehydrator.
- Wash and thinly slice jalapenos. Leave seeds in for more heat or remove for a milder flavor.
- Spread jalapeno slices on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Dry in the oven for 2 to 3 hours, flipping halfway through, until fully dry and brittle.
- Let the jalapenos cool, then grind them into a coarse or fine powder using a spice grinder or food processor.
- Mix the jalapeno powder with sea salt and garlic powder if using.
- Transfer the jalapeno salt to an airtight container for storage.
Notes
- Store in a cool, dry place for up to 6 months.
