One small sprig of rosemary converts to 1/2 a teaspoon of dried rosemary.
Typically, 1 tablespoon of fresh rosemary leaves can be roughly equivalent to 1 teaspoon of dried rosemary.
To substitute fresh rosemary for dried in a recipe, use three times the amount of fresh rosemary as the recipe calls for dried. For example, if the recipe calls for 1 teaspoon of dried rosemary, use 3 teaspoons of fresh rosemary. Remember to finely chop the fresh rosemary before adding it to the recipe for best results.
Two sprigs of fresh rosemary typically yield about one to two teaspoons of dried rosemary when dried and crushed. Fresh herbs have a higher moisture content, so the conversion to dry form results in a more concentrated flavor. For cooking, it's often recommended to use about one-third the amount of dried herbs as fresh due to this potency difference.
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary equals 1 teaspoon dried
For rosemary, the ratio is three to one, fresh chopped to dried. So if your recipe calls for 2 tsp. of dried rosemary and you would rather use fresh, you will need three times as much, or two tablespoons of fresh chopped rosemary leaves.
4 tsp of dried rosemary equals 1/4 cup fresh.
Approximately one teaspoon of dried rosemary equals one tablespoon of fresh. (Approx. 1 tsp dry = 1 Tbsp fresh)
If your recipe calls for fresh minced rosemary but you only have dried rosemary leaves, you can substitute the dried version. Use about one-third of the amount specified for fresh rosemary, as dried herbs are more concentrated in flavor. Simply crush the dried leaves slightly to release their oils before adding them to your dish. Keep in mind that the flavor may not be as vibrant, but it will still enhance your recipe.
Usually about three times as much, but if a recipe calls for fresh, do your best to use fresh. Dried rosemary is one of those herbs that does not do very well dried. Fresh vs dried makes a huge difference. Also, depending on the recipe, if you're using dried rosemary, don't leave it in the food. Let it sit to soak the flavor in and then strain/take it out.
