Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup kosher or flaky salt
  • 1-3 Tbsp fresh citrus zest

Instructions

  • Zest clean citrus fruit and combine it with the salt, rubbing well with your fingers to release all of the flavor & disperse evenly throughout the salt
  • Spread flavored salt on a parchment lined, rimmed baking sheet and bake in a 200 degree oven for an hour
  • cool and store in a clean jar at room temperature for up to 3 months

Notes

  • Use a coarse or flaky salt like Diamond Kosher or Maldon for best results
  • DO NOT use table salt
  • 1 Tbsp is the minimum amount of zest to use, use more for a stronger flavor
