Prepare the Garlic: Begin by peeling the cloves. This part might take some time, but it’s worth it for the fresh aroma and flavor.
Slice the Garlic Thinly:
Slice the Garlic Thinly: Cut the garlic into thin slices. The thinner they are, the quicker they’ll dry, ensuring an even drying process.
Dry the Garlic: Place the slices on a baking sheet, using parchment paper to prevent sticking. Dry the slices in an oven set to the lowest temperature. Keep the oven door slightly open to let moisture escape. This step requires patience as it may take several hours.
Grind the Garlic: Once the slices are completely dry and crisp, grind them into a fine powder using either a blender or spice grinder.
Store Your Garlic Powder: Transfer the finished garlic powder into an airtight container and store it in a cool, dry place. Properly stored, it should retain its flavor for several months.
