Instructions
- Preheat the oven to the lowest possible temperature setting, 150°F if possible.
- Slice the peeled garlic cloves thinly into even pieces to ensure even drying. Transfer the garlic slices in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 2 hours until the garlic is completely dry and crisp and makes a snapping sound when you try to break it.
- Allow the garlic to cool completely. Then transfer to a spice grinder or coffee grinder and pulse until the garlic turns into a fine powder. Sift the garlic powder to ensure it’s fine and keep the larger garlic granules for another use.
- Store the garlic powder in an airtight container with a teaspoon of uncooked rice to keep the garlic powder from clumping or a glass jar with a tight-fitting lid for up to 6 months.

Notes
- Storage: To keep your garlic powder fresh and clump-free, store it in an airtight container like a spice jar, away from direct sunlight or any source of moisture. When stored properly, garlic powder can last up to a year.
- Tips:
- Use fresh garlic. Avoid bagged peeled garlic due to its uncertain freshness and potential slimy texture. Opt for fresh garlic bulbs for the best homemade garlic powder.
