HOW TO MAKE GARLIC POWDERDo you want to learn how to make garlic powder? My step-by-step instructions easily will produce the BEST Garlic Powder you've ever tasted. Try it in your Italian dishes; nothing like it.
Peel the garlic cloves and cut them into thin pieces. Place on a baking sheet in a 150 degree oven or use a food dehydrator; turning often. Grind the dried pieces in a blender and sift the material in a strainer to separate the chunks from the fine powder. The chunks are excellent on pizza or in sauce, by the way. Store the chunks and powder in airtight containers, or freeze for long-time storage. |
