Garlic powder is one of the condiments that are always present in our kitchen, it adds flavor to our favorite dish. In making fried chicken garlic powder is a must have seasoning for me. I really love that garlic flavor in my crispy fried chicken. So, since I'm a big fan of garlic powder I decided to make my own garlic powder. It's very simple and easy to make and you can save a lot of money. Not only that you can save money but you can also make sure that the garlic powder you use is 100% pure garlic with no added msg, preservatives and any other stuff that can be harmful to your body.
I made my garlic powder without any sophisticated kitchen tools. Yes, you read it right, no dehydrator, no oven. Well, you can use oven or dehydrator if you want but I made it by placing it under the heat of the sun. Since it summer and it's super hot, the hottest summer ever, I try to take advantage of the summer heat.
I simply sliced my garlic as thin as possible and place it under the sun for 2-3 days or until it's all dried. Then when it all dried I grind it using a mortar and pester or a food processor and your homemade garlic is ready to use.
