Description

Tires of sub-par tasteless, imported garlic in the colder months?  Here’s how to make homemade dehydrated garlic cloves and garlic powder and have year-round garlic for all your cooking needs. 


Ingredients

  • Lots of garlic cloves

Instructions

  1. Separate each garlic bulb into cloves. Peel each clove of garlic of its outer skin. Assemble your food processor with a 2mm slicing disc.
  2. Slice all of the cloves into thin slices. If you are using a mandoline, aim for relatively uniform pieces.
  3. Turn the dehydrator on to 60 degrees celsius and leave to dry for 8-10 hours until there is no moisture left and the garlic slices snap when broken.
  4. Store in an airtight container or mason jars for up to 12 months.

Notes

Generally, I get at least one year’s shelf life from my dehydrated garlic flakes if they are dried correctly and stored in a cool dry place in preserving jars out of direct sunlight.
