Green Onion Salt
Turn your scallions, green onions, or spring onions into a special herb salt you can enjoy throughout the year! It's like the taste of spring even in winter. Green onion salt is extremely simple to make, so don't be intimidated!
Equipment
- 1 Sheet of parchment paper
- 1 Kitchen scissors or knife
- 1 dehydrator optional
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cup Sea salt Kosher size
- 3-5 Green onions Greens only (approximately 1 cup of gently compressed greens)
Instructions
Preheat the Oven or Dehydrator
- OVEN METHOD: Preheat oven to the lowest setting. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- DEHYDRATOR METHOD: Set the dehydrator to 135 degrees F. Place a silicone liner or a piece of parchment on your dehydrator tray.
Prepare the Green Onions
- Wash and dry green onion greens. Remove greens from whites.
- Roughly cut greens into 3 or 4 pieces to fit into food processor. Pulse a few seconds, stop and stir, and pulse again and the onions are finely chopped.
- Add in sea salt. Blend until fully combined.
- Pour onto sheet tray or baking dish. If using the dehydrator, spread the salt onto a silicone liner or a piece of parhment cut down to size. Spread thin. Place in oven.
- Allow to dry in oven for 2-3 hours or up to 4-5 hours in the dehydrator. Stir every hour or so.
Store for Later
- Remove when the salt is fully dry and allow to cool completely before storing. Store in an airtight jar for about a year.
Notes
You are welcome to include the whites of your green onions, too. You may need to add more salt to maintain the right proportion of moisture to salt. This will give your salt more of an oniony flavor.
Package your salt into 1/4 pint jars and give away for housewarming gifts or just because!
