Ingredients
- 3 small yellow onions
Instructions
- Prepare Onions: Peel the onions thoroughly and dice them into small, even pieces to ensure uniform drying.
- Arrange on Dehydrator Trays: Spread the diced onions evenly across dehydrator trays, filling each tray without overlapping pieces to allow proper air circulation.
- Dehydrate: Set the dehydrator temperature to 125°F (52°C) and dehydrate the onions for 18-24 hours until they are completely dry and brittle.
- Grind into Powder: Transfer the dried onions into a food processor or use a mortar and pestle to grind them until a fine powder is formed.
- Store: Place the onion powder in an airtight container to maintain freshness and use it to season your favorite dishes as needed.
Notes
- Ensure onions are fully dried to prevent mold during storage.
- If you don’t have a dehydrator, you can dry onions in an oven at the lowest setting with the door slightly open, checking regularly.
- Store the onion powder in a cool, dark place for up to 6 months.
- Use gloves when handling large quantities of onions to avoid irritation.
- Adjust the quantity according to your usage needs; the recipe scales easily.
