Homemade Celery Salt#Foodieextravaganza

What do you do with the flavorful celery leaves? Put the leftover celery leaves to work, use them in making stock for soup or to make Homemade Celery Salt! It tastes  better and cost less, preservatives free, when you make it home, that too from the celery leaves that we usually do not use.  

You can dry them in a microwave for 5 minutes turning the leaves after every minute or in the  air fryer at 80°C for 20  to 25 minutes. I make these every year, in winter, when celery is darn cheap and seen in abundance.  I dried celery leaves in the microwave as well as air fryer.  

Makes 2/3 Cup

Ingredients
½ Cup Dried Celery Leaves
¼ Cup Sea Salt

Method

I got a big  bunch of celery ( used even the yellow leaves, because they too are full of flavor).  

Remove all  the leaves, wash them well and then dry them on a cloth till the leaves are absolutely free of any moisture.  

Place them in the  air fryer basket at 80°C for 20 to 25 minutes or until dried, but not browned.  Let the  cool completely.  

Transfer them to a spice grinder along with the sea salt, just  pulse the grinder two or three times or  until evenly ground and well combined.  

Store it in a  small air-tight  jar or container and use whenever required.
