With that said, herbs like thyme, sage, marjoram, savory and tarragon can be substituted for rosemary. Just make sure to use a fresh herb where the fresh version of rosemary is called for, and dry for dry. Herb blends like Herbes de Provence , which are heavy on the dried rosemary, can also be used in place of the dried version.
Sometimes you may need to substitute fresh rosemary for the dried version, or vice-versa. To do so, 1 teaspoon of dried is about the equivalent of 1 tablespoon of fresh. Note that the dried version needs to be added to a recipe early, whereas the fresh version goes in towards the end of cooking time. You can find dried rosemary in the spice section of a grocery store. Fresh rosemary may be sold with other herbs in the produce section, often in bunches or small packages containing a few sprigs.

Dried rosemary won't be as aromatic as fresh rosemary but it lasts much longer than freezing or refrigerating. To dry your rosemary, place the rosemary sprigs on a plate in a dry place and let stand for a few days.

If you let the fresh herb sit at room temperature, it will wilt and lose quality in a matter of days. That means that unless you use lots of rosemary in a single recipe or have pre-planned several dishes that require this herb, your fresh sprigs might spoil before you use them.
Fortunately, you can dry this herb fairly easily. Air-dry your fresh rosemary if you have the right conditions, or use a dehydrator or even the oven to make it quick and simple. If you know your leftover fresh rosemary will probably lose quality before you use it, dry it.
For best results, store fresh rosemary in the fridge, wrapped in a wet paper towel in a freezer bag. If you need it to last only a couple of days, you can skip the paper towel. Therefore, you can grab as much as you need from the bag when you need it.
