Ingredients
- Garlic
Kitchen Supplies
- Blender or food processor
Directions
- Break apart garlic bulbs and peel the skins from the individual cloves.
- Slice the cloves thinly and uniformly, cutting out any bad spots you come across. Perfection is not needed here but keep in mind that thicker pieces will increase drying time.
- Spread your sliced garlic in an even layer on a baking sheet and place in an oven preheated to 170 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Bake for 90 minutes.
- Check for doneness, by bending one of the garlic pieces. If it's flexible, there's still too much moisture in it and you'll want to put it back in the oven. If it snaps cleanly in half, it's ready.
- Use blender or food processor until the garlic has a fine, powdered consistency.
Create a spice rack staple using excess garlic by learning how to make garlic powder.
Dehydrating food is something I was determined to do this year, so when my husband suggested we learn how to make garlic powder with some of our excess garlic, I was all for it. Making garlic powder is so easy, and now I have the satisfaction of knowing there is one less thing I’ll have to buy from the store. I love it!
