How to Make Homemade Garlic Powder

  1. Preheat your oven to 150°F (70°C).
  2. Peel approximately 1 head (about 1 cup) of garlic and separate into cloves.
  3. Slice the garlic cloves thinly.
  4. Arrange the sliced garlic in a single layer on a baking sheet. Ensure that the garlic slices do not overlap to allow for even drying.
  5. Bake for 3-4 hours, turning the slices every 30-45 minutes for even drying. The garlic is ready when it is completely hard and brittle.
  6. Remove from oven and let cool completely.
  7. Once cool, add the dried garlic slices to a high-speed blender or food processor. If adding salt, add 1 teaspoon at this stage.
  8. Blend until a fine powder is achieved.
  9. Transfer the homemade garlic powder to an airtight container and store in the freezer for up to 6 months.
