This photo is after resting the basil herbs in a preheated 350F oven for 2 hours.
I had decided to dry my basil plants using this simple video. I ended up cutting these into smaller pieces and putting them in for another 2 hours.The beauty of it is that you turn the oven off right after putting the herbs in so you are not using lot of power. You then crumble all the leaves and blossoms and store in a jar, discarding the stems. I was happy with the results.

good morning I used to dry a lot of herbs too I just lay them out on parchment papers and let them dry that way always nice to have your own herbs
Great 👍
We dry mint leaves in sunlight and use the powder for few months
I am glad you know how to make dry herbs. Now, you won't have to buy them at the store.

The homemade dried basil must add such a fresh, fragrant touch to your cooking
Yo hago lo mismo. Te mando un beso.
Fine idea!

I love that you dried your own basil, and the fact that it doesn't use a ton of energy is brilliant. It looks amazing in the photo. I always buy dried herbs, but this makes me want to try it myself.
Definitely trying! Thanks again!
That's even better than my baking for 2 to 4 hours.
