Garlic Powder Recipe
Learn how to dehydrate garlic in the oven to make homemade garlic powder! It's a fresher and tastier alternative to store-bought.
Servings: 48 servings
Ingredients
- 6 heads garlic peeled
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to the lowest possible temperature setting, 150°F if possible.
- Slice the peeled garlic cloves thinly into even pieces to ensure even drying. Transfer the garlic slices in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 2 hours until the garlic is completely dry and crisp and makes a snapping sound when you try to break it.
- Allow the garlic to cool completely. Then transfer to a spice grinder or coffee grinder and pulse until the garlic turns into a fine powder. Sift the garlic powder to ensure it’s fine and keep the larger garlic granules for another use.
- Store the garlic powder in an airtight container or spice jar with a teaspoon of uncooked rice to keep the garlic powder from clumping for up to 6 months. You can also mix ¼ teaspoon of salt with the garlic powder to avoid clumping and preserve it longer.
Notes
My Top Tip: Check that every piece of garlic snaps cleanly before grinding. Any slices that still bend contain moisture and can make the garlic powder clump during storage.
Storage: To keep your garlic powder fresh and clump-free, store it in an airtight container like a spice jar, away from direct sunlight or any source of moisture. When stored properly, garlic powder can last up to a year.
