Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Celery leaves
- 2 tablespoons Celery seeds
- 1 teaspoon Salt (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°F (93°C).
Wash the celery leaves thoroughly and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. Ensure all excess moisture is removed.
Lay the celery leaves in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Place the baking sheet in the oven and dry the celery leaves for 45–60 minutes, or until they are completely crisp and crumble easily between your fingers.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the leaves cool completely.
In a spice grinder or blender, combine the dried celery leaves with the celery seeds and optional salt.
Pulse the mixture until it forms a fine powder, or stop sooner if you prefer a coarser blend.
Transfer the celery spice to an airtight container and store it in a cool, dry place for up to 3 months.
Use as a seasoning in soups, stews, salads, or any recipe where you’d like to add a hint of celery flavor.
