Step-by-Step Instructions for Jalapeno Salt
- Begin by washing and dicing fresh jalapeños, ensuring to wear gloves to protect your hands. Spread the pieces evenly on a dehydrator tray, making sure they do not touch. Set your dehydrator to 125°F and let the jalapeños dehydrate for 6 to 10 hours, or until they become completely brittle.
- Once your dehydrated jalapeños are crisp and cool, transfer them to a food processor. Pulse the dehydrated peppers 2-3 times to break them down into smaller pieces. Next, add the coarse kosher salt and blend the mixture until it reaches your desired texture.
- Carefully transfer your jalapeño salt into an airtight container, ensuring it’s sealed tightly to lock in freshness. Store your homemade jalapeño salt in a cool, dark place, where it will maintain its flavor for up to a year.

Notes
Wear a mask while blending the jalapeños to avoid intense fumes. Ensure the jalapeños are completely dry before storing to prevent clumping.
