Ingredients
- whole vanilla beans (Make sure they are still pliable and moist. If they are dry the toasting process will burn the beans rather than toast them)
Instructions
- Slice vanilla beans lengthwise.
- Place the sliced beans on a cookie sheet and bake / dry for about 90 minutes at 170°F.
- Place the dried beans into a spice/coffee grinder or blender.
- Process the beans to a powder.

Quick Drying / Toasting Method
- Follow the rest of the instructions above, but roast / dry the vanilla beans at 350°F for 3-8 minutes. Pay close attention to them to prevent burning. At the 3 minute mark, the beans will likely be ready to use. Roasting them longer will result in a toasted vanilla powder.
Notes
- Quick Cooking Method Notes. I prefer the 90 minute drying method. While it takes longer, the higher temperature makes it more likely that the vanilla beans will burn, and the high heat could alter the flavor of the beans.
- However, if you're in a big hurry, use the quick method for sure!
