Ingredients
Scale
- 2 fresh jalapeños, deseeded and finely chopped
- 1 cup sea salt (or kosher salt)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 200°F (93°C).
- Spread the chopped jalapeños on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast the jalapeños in the oven for about 30-45 minutes, stirring halfway through, until they are dehydrated and slightly crispy. Alternatively, you can use a food dehydrator if you have one.
- Allow the roasted jalapeños to cool completely.
- In a small food processor or spice grinder, combine the roasted jalapeños with the sea salt. Pulse until the mixture is finely blended and the jalapeños are fully incorporated into the salt.
- Store the Jalapeño Salt in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. It should last for several months.
Notes
- For a stronger flavor, leave the seeds in the jalapeños when chopping.
- If you prefer a more intense heat, use more jalapeños or substitute them with hotter peppers like serranos or habaneros.
- This salt can be used as a finishing salt for dishes like tacos, grilled meats, roasted vegetables, or even as a rimming salt for cocktails like margaritas.
