With thyme one fresh sprig equals one-half teaspoon of dried thyme. In general, use two to three times the amount of fresh thyme as dried. When adding to soups and stews, crush the leaves between your hands before stirring it in your recipe.

About half a teaspoon, depending on the quality of the dried thyme (brand, how old it is, how long the packet has been open etc...) If it's really old dried thyme (not that this is great for cooking with), you can go up to using the full teaspoon.

Dried herbs such as thyme should always should be thought of in a 1:3 ratio. One teaspoon of dried thyme is the same as three teaspoons of fresh thyme. How much dried thyme that equals three thyme sprigs depends on the size of the thyme sprigs.

About 1/2 teaspoon of dried is equal to 1 sprig of fresh thyme. In general, use 2 to 3 times as much fresh compared to dry of any herb.
