Article: Use cool water and pat the sprigs dry with a paper towel. Let them sit for 10-15 minutes to air dry completely, as baking the herbs while still damp will make the process take much longer. Line the baking sheet with parchment paper first, then space the sprigs evenly apart. You can always use more than one baking sheet if you need more space! This will allow your rosemary to bake slowly, but not burn. Place the baking sheet inside, close to the middle of the oven. About 15 minutes into the baking, open the oven door for about a minute to let the moisture out, which will allow your rosemary to bake more quickly. After 30 minutes, check on the herbs by using oven mitts to crumble them a bit. If they flake apart in your fingers, they’re done! If not, put the sheet back in the oven and check back in about 15 minutes. The rosemary shouldn’t take more than an hour to bake! Remove the sprigs from the sheet and place them on a flat, clean surface. Once the rosemary is cool, you can remove the leaves from the stems if desired, crumble them, or keep the sprigs whole if you want to use a larger sprig in cooking or as a garnish. It’s important that the rosemary is totally dry before you store it. Any heat will create moisture in the container, which can cause mold. You can use a jar, a plastic container, or even a resealable bag. For the best taste, use up your dried rosemary within one year. It will still be good to eat after that time, but may not have as strong a flavor.
