 Homemade garlic powder is actually quite simple with just a little time.

You can use the same process for onion powder too!

Homemade Garlic Powder

• Peeled and thinly sliced garlic, as much as your heart desires! Aim for 3 to 6 bulbs for ¼ - ½ cups powder.

Layer sliced garlic on dehydrator trays. Heat at 105°F and dehydrate for 12-18 hours or until the garlic is completely dry and snaps easily. Low and slow is the key to avoiding cooking or baking the garlic.

Grind dehydrated garlic in a blender or spice grinder for garlic powder or crush in a mortar and pestle for garlic flakes. Store in an airtight jar.
