HOW TO MAKE ONION POWDER IN YOUR KITCHEN.

Onion Powder is one powerful natural seasoning that can take the flavor of your food to another level.

Another good thing about onion powder is that it can be added to almost all kinds of food recipes including soups.

Onion powder is a good substitute if you do not like to see fresh onions in your food.

It performs magic when combined with other herbs and spices like ginger, garlic, chilli peppers.

Making onion powder will also help prevent wastage, especially during onion season like this.

Here is a step-by-step guide on how to make onion powder:

Ingredients:
Bulbs of onions

Tools:
Sharp knife
Cutting board
Dehydrator or oven
Blender or food processor
Airtight container for storage

Instructions
Peel the onions and slice them thinly using a sharp knife.

Spread the sliced onions in a single layer on a dehydrator tray or baking sheet.

If using a dehydrator, set the temperature to 135°F (57°C) and dry the onions for 8-10 hours, or until they are completely dry and brittle. If using an oven, set the temperature to the lowest setting and dry the onions for 6-8 hours, or until they are completely dry and brittle.

Once the onions are dry, remove them from the dehydrator or oven and let them cool for a few minutes.

Place the dried onions in a blender or food processor and grinduntil they are finely ground into a powder.

Store the onion powder in an airtight container in a cool, dry place.
