Read the ingredient line
Check whether a recipe asks for fresh, crumbled dried, or ground dried herbs. Nebraska Extension gives this approximate equivalence: one tablespoon of finely cut fresh herbs, one teaspoon of crumbled dried herbs, or one-quarter to one-half teaspoon of ground dried herbs.
Make the substitution visible
When substituting fresh and crumbled dried herbs, the extension guide uses a three-to-one ratio. For example, three tablespoons of fresh parsley correspond to one tablespoon of dried parsley. Treat the stated equivalent as approximate.
