Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup fresh jalapeños (about 8-10 medium-sized, seeds removed if you prefer less heat) Choose firm and colorful jalapeños for the best flavor.
  • 1 cup coarse sea salt
  • 1-2 teaspoons garlic powder (optional, make sure it’s Halal-certified) Adds extra flavor to the salt.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Rinse the jalapeños under cold water, remove stems and seeds, and chop them into large pieces.
Roasting
  1. Spread the chopped jalapeños onto a lined baking sheet and roast them for 15-20 minutes, or until the skin is slightly charred.
Blending
  1. Let the roasted jalapeños cool slightly, then blend them with the coarse sea salt in a food processor until you reach your desired consistency.
Storage
  1. Transfer the mixture into an airtight container, optionally sterilizing the container in the oven beforehand for better shelf life.

Notes

Store in a cool, dark place in an airtight container for up to six months. Sprinkle on dishes without the need to reheat.
