Ingredients
- Fresh Jalapenos
- Coarse Sea Salt
- Dried Garlic Powder
- Dried Onion Powder
Instructions
- Step 1: Prep Your Ingredients
- Step 2: Roast Those Peppers: Preheat your oven to 225°F (107°C). Place your baking sheet with jalapenos in the oven and roast them for about 1-2 hours. You want them dried out but not burnt! Keep an eye on them; you don’t want to leave them unattended unless you enjoy smoky aromas wafting through your home more than actual cooking smells.
- Step 3: Blend It Up: Once roasted, let the jalapenos cool down before transferring them to a food processor. Add in the coarse sea salt, dried garlic powder, and dried onion powder. Pulse until finely ground but still slightly textured—think of it as making a spicy sand rather than dust!
- Step 4: Store Your Creation: Transfer your jalapeno salt into an airtight container or jar. Allow it to sit for at least an hour before using; this gives all those wonderful flavors time to meld together beautifully. Finally, label it with a fun name if you're feeling extra creative—“Spicy Salt of Awesomeness,” anyone?
Notes
- For optimal freshness, store your jalapeno salt in an airtight container in a cool, dark place to preserve its vibrant flavor.
- There's no need to reheat this salt, but you can sprinkle it on warm dishes like roasted vegetables or grilled meats to enhance their flavor profile.
- Serve your jalapeno salt as a zesty seasoning for popcorn or as a finishing touch on avocado toast for an exciting kick.
- If you're looking for extra depth, consider adding some smoked paprika to the blend for a delightful smoky note that complements the jalapenos beautifully!
