Description

Create a spicy seasoning by dehydrating diced jalapenos, blending them with coarse kosher salt, and storing the mixture in an airtight container. Perfect for adding a kick to your dishes!


Ingredients

Dehydrated Jalapenos

  • ½ cup dehydrated jalapenos (about 10)

Coarse Kosher Salt

  • 1 cup coarse kosher salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare Jalapenos: Wash and dice fresh jalapenos, then spread them on a dehydrator tray. Dehydrate at 125°F for 6-10 hours or until completely brittle.
  2. Blend Ingredients: Place dehydrated jalapenos in a food processor and pulse 2-3 times. Add coarse kosher salt to the processor. Pulse until fully combined to preferred texture.
  3. Store: Transfer jalapeno salt to an airtight container for storage. Use as needed in dishes.

Notes

  • Dehydrator Tips: Ensure jalapenos are completely brittle post-dehydration to maintain salt quality.
  • Texture Preference: Adjust blending time for desired salt texture—chunky or fine.
  • Storage: Store in airtight container to prevent clumping.
  • Variations: Customize blend by adding other dried spices like garlic powder.
  • Handling Jalapenos: Use gloves when handling fresh jalapenos to avoid skin irritation.
