Great for making Rosemary Roast beef or on roast chicken, roasted veggies, fries or top a baked Italian bread before baking. Add to a bowl of extra virgin olive oil for dipping. Remove tough stems from all the herbs and discard or save for a fire place or smoking foods. I air dried my garden herbs but you can oven dry them as well.
