Primary Ingredients
- ½ cup dehydrated jalapenos (about 10 fresh jalapenos, diced and dehydrated)
- 1 cup coarse kosher salt
Instructions
- Dehydrate Jalapenos: Wash and dice fresh jalapenos. Spread them evenly on a dehydrator tray and dehydrate at 125°F for 6 to 10 hours, or until they become completely brittle and dry.
- Pulse Jalapenos: Place the ½ cup of dehydrated jalapenos into a food processor and pulse 2 to 3 times to break them into smaller pieces. This step can be skipped if you prefer a finer grind later on.
- Add Salt: Add 1 cup of coarse kosher salt to the chopped jalapenos in the food processor.
- Combine Mixture: Pulse the mixture until the jalapenos and salt are thoroughly combined. Adjust the processing time according to your texture preference—less blending for larger flakes or more blending for a fine grind.
- Store Jalapeno Salt: Transfer the blended jalapeno salt into an airtight container. Use a shaker or salt bowl for convenient seasoning as needed.
Notes
- Make sure jalapenos are fully dehydrated to avoid moisture that could cause clumping or mold.
- Adjust the amount of jalapeno according to your preferred heat level.
- Use coarse kosher salt for better texture and flavor absorption.
- Store the jalapeno salt in a cool, dry place to preserve freshness and flavor.
- If you don’t have a dehydrator, you can dry jalapenos in an oven at the lowest temperature, but monitor closely to avoid burning.
