How to prepare and use fresh rosemary:

First you should rinse the bunches under cold water in a colander to remove any dirt or debris that might be hanging onto the branches or needles.

After it’s rinsed you can pat them dry and then you can decide to use the rosemary in full sprigs or in this case you want to remove the needles from the branch.

Do this by holding the stem and running your thumb and index finger down the stem and pushing the needles off the main branch.

After you remove the needles you can give them a rough chop or mince them to infuse more flavor. They’re also perfectly great full! Depending on the size of the needles you might want to consider chopping them a bit!

Add salt, pepper, and 2 sprigs of rosemary. Cover with foil and bake for 1 hour; remove foil the last 10 minutes for browning.
