Homemade Garlic Powder with Bold Flavor

Store in an airtight container for up to 6 months for best flavor.

Add a few grains of uncooked rice to the jar to help prevent moisture clumping.

Use just a pinch in sauces, roasted veggies, meats, marinades, or salad dressings.

Variations
Smoky Garlic Powder: Lightly roast garlic slices before drying.

Spiced Garlic Blend: Mix with dried herbs or chili powder for a custom seasoning mix.

Salted Garlic Powder: Add a little sea salt before grinding for a seasoned finish.

FAQ
Q: How can I tell if the garlic is dry enough before grinding?
A: It should snap cleanly and be completely brittle with no moisture. If it’s bendy or leathery, it needs more drying time.

Q: Can I use pre-minced or frozen garlic?
A: For best flavor and texture, always start with fresh whole garlic cloves.

Q: What’s the shelf life of homemade garlic powder?
A: Up to 6 months when stored in a dry, airtight container—though it’s often used up much faster!
