HOMEMADE GARLIC POWDER
A good way to use up those cloves of garlic. I had to add a teaspoon of salt as an ingredient because I could not post a one ingredient recipe, but you really don't need it, unless you want to make garlic salt!

Steps:
- Peel garlic, separate into cloves and cut them into thin slices.
- Place sliced garlic on dry sheet pan and into an oven pre-set at 150*.
- Turn slices often so they dry out evenly.
- After several hours or when they are nice & hard remove from oven & allow to cool.
- Grind the dried slices in a blender until you have a fine powder.
- Pour garlic powder into a container with an airtight lid & store in the freezer.
Tips:
- Choose the Right Garlic: Select firm, plump garlic bulbs with no signs of sprouting or bruising. Fresh garlic yields the best flavor and aroma.
- Properly Dry the Garlic: Slicing the garlic thinly and evenly ensures consistent drying and prevents clumping. Aim for slices between 1/8 and 1/4 inch thick.
- Use a Food Dehydrator or Oven: If you have a food dehydrator, it's the ideal tool for drying garlic. However, if you don't, you can use your oven set to the lowest temperature setting, typically around 140°F (60°C).
- Monitor the Drying Process: Regularly check on the garlic slices during the drying process. They should become brittle and slightly browned. Depending on the method and thickness of the slices, drying can take several hours or even overnight.
- Store Properly: Once the garlic is completely dry, store it in an airtight container in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Properly stored garlic powder can last for several months.
Conclusion:
Homemade garlic powder is a versatile seasoning that adds a robust, savory flavor to various dishes. By following the simple steps outlined in the provided recipes, you can easily create your own garlic powder using fresh garlic bulbs. Whether you prefer using a food dehydrator or your oven, the key is to slice the garlic thinly, dry it thoroughly, and store it properly.
