Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°F (93°C).

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.

Step 7

Pulse the mixture until it forms a fine powder, or stop sooner if you prefer a coarser blend.
