Follow these simple steps to make your own garlic powder:

1. Preheat your oven to the lowest setting, usually around 150°F (65°C).
2. Peel the garlic cloves. You can do this by smashing them gently with the side of a knife to loosen the skins.
3. Slice the garlic cloves thinly. Aim for uniform slices to ensure even drying.
4. Spread the garlic slices in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
5. Place the baking sheet in the oven and let the garlic dry for 2-3 hours. Check every 30 minutes to ensure they don’t burn. They should be crisp and dry to the touch.
6. Once dried, remove from the oven and let them cool completely.
7. Transfer the dried garlic to a blender or spice grinder and pulse until you achieve a fine powder consistency.
8. Store the garlic powder in an airtight container in a cool, dry place.

And there you have it, a jar of fragrant homemade garlic powder ready to elevate your cooking!
