Homemade Garlic Powder

Ingredients

• 8–10 heads of fresh garlic

Instructions

1. Peel the garlic
   Separate the cloves and remove all the skins.
2. Slice the garlic
   Cut the cloves into thin slices. Thin slices help them dry faster.
3. Dry the garlic
   • Oven method:
     Spread slices on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
     Dry at 60–70°C (140–160°F) for 2–3 hours until completely dry and brittle.
   • Dehydrator method:
     Dry at 55–60°C (130–140°F) for 6–8 hours.
5. Grind into powder
   Place the dried garlic slices in a blender, spice grinder, or coffee grinder.
   Blend until a fine powder forms.
6. Store
   Put the garlic powder in an airtight glass jar and store in a cool, dry place.

Optional Tip

For a smoother powder, sift it through a fine sieve and grind any larger pieces again.
