# Top Tips:

01 -
  • It costs a fraction of what you'd pay for boutique seasoning blends, and honestly tastes better because it's yours.
  • You'll stop reaching for plain salt once you taste how this wakes up roasted vegetables and grilled chicken without any fuss.
  • Making it takes about ten minutes, and then you have weeks of seasoning ready to go.
02 -
  • Fresh garlic will introduce moisture into your blend and turn the whole thing into a clumpy mess—trust me, I learned this the hard way when I got ambitious one afternoon.
  • If you want an ultra-fine texture, pulse the finished blend in a spice grinder for a few seconds, but not too long or you'll end up with paste instead of powder.
03 -
  • Crush your rosemary by hand right before adding it—the oils that release in that moment are what make this blend smell like something special.
  • If you're using this as a finishing salt on meats or vegetables, sprinkle it on while things are still slightly warm so the salt actually adheres instead of rolling off.
