Easy Homemade Garlic Powder | Granulated Garlic
Report
This Easy Homemade Garlic Powder recipe transforms fresh garlic cloves into a versatile dry seasoning through slow drying and grinding. Thinly sliced garlic is dehydrated at low heat until crisp, then ground to a coarse or fine texture that mimics commercial granulated garlic or garlic powder. It offers a way to preserve garlic’s flavor for long-term use and adds convenience for seasoning a wide range of dishes.
Description
The process begins by slicing peeled fresh garlic cloves uniformly thin to ensure even drying. The slices are arranged individually on a parchment-lined tray and dehydrated at the oven's lowest temperature setting or in a dehydrator, often overnight, until completely dry and brittle. This gentle drying prevents bitterness that can develop with direct high heat.
Next, the dried garlic is ground using a blender or food processor to the desired consistency. Coarser grinding yields granulated garlic, while finer grinding produces powder suitable for any recipe calling for garlic powder. The product can be stored in airtight containers to maintain flavor and used as a staple dry seasoning in cooking.

Ingredients
- garlic as much as you want / have, fresh, peeled cloves
Instructions
- Set your oven to as low of a temperature as possible. In other words, play "how low can you go?" with your oven. Mine goes down to 170. Alternatively, get your dehydrator ready.
- Slice peeled cloves of garlic as thinly as possible, trying to get them all about the same thickness. The thinner you slice them, the faster they'll dry out.
- Place on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet, making sure the slices don't touch each other.
- Dehydrate until dried (I did mine overnight in my oven).
- Take dried pieces of garlic and dump them into your blender/food processor. Grind to desired texture--a more coarse grind will be like granulated garlic. A more fine grind will be like powder. Store in an airtight jar. Use in any dish calling for garlic.
