The simplest way to make garlic salt is by combining granulated garlic (garlic powder) with salt. But to get a deeper and more intense flavor, it is well worth the time and effort to chop and dry your own fresh garlic.
Tip: In order to save on the electricity (and environmental) costs of using your oven to dry the garlic, double up and use the heat to make homemade croutons at the same time.
You’ll need:
- Food processor or blender
- ½ cup kosher salt
- 6 cloves of organic garlic, peeled
- Baking sheet
- Silicone baking mat, or other substitute for parchment paper
Here’s how to make garlic salt:
- Add the salt and garlic to a food processor or blender and blitz until the garlic is finely chopped.
- Spread the garlic salt mixture out evenly onto a lined baking sheet.
- Bake the mixture at 200°F for approximately 45 minutes, or until it has dried out.
- After baking, place the garlic salt back into the food processor or blender, and blitz until your desired consistency is reached.
You can store your homemade garlic salt in an airtight container for up to 1 year at room temperature, which gives you plenty of time to use it.
