Description

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup sea salt
• 1/2 tsp dried basil (5-6 large leaves)
• 1/2 tsp lemon zest
• 1/4 cup sea salt
• 3/4 tsp dried lime zest (2 limes)
• 1/2 tsp chili powder

Directions

• Remove basil leaves from stem and wash thoroughly. Pat dry with paper towel.
• Spread leaves out on a paper towel and microwave for 30 seconds at a time, checking on them in between each round. The basil leaves should be dry and crunchy in texture after about 1 1/2 minutes (or 2-3 rounds).
• In a small bowl, crush the leaves together with your fingers until finely crumbled. Set aside.
• Repeat process with the lemon zest. The lemon zest should be dry and crunchy after just 1 minute, though.
• Add dried zest to the bowl with dried basil and crumble mixture between fingers until well blended.
• Mix with sea salt. Store in an air-tight container for up to 12 months.
• Spread lime zest out on paper towel and microwave for 45-60 seconds, or until dry and crunchy to the touch.
• Place dried zest in a small bowl and crumble any larger pieces between fingers.
• Add chili powder and sea salt, and stir until well blended.
• Store in an air-tight container for up to 12 months.
