This is how the spice powder is made

You will need at least 10 medium-sized onions to make the onion powder.

• Remove the peel and cut the onions into fine slices.
• Line your oven trays with parchment paper and place the onion slices on them. The onion slices are only placed next to each other and not on top of each other, otherwise, they will dry poorly.
• After all, the trays are in the oven, set a temperature of around 50 to 60 degrees. Do not close the oven door completely, but insert a wooden spoon between them. Moisture can escape through the gap. Alternatively, occasionally open the oven door.
• Tip: If you have a dehydrator or you often dry fruit and vegetables, you can use this for the drying process.
• Depending on the oven and how finely the onion slices are cut, the process takes about six to seven hours. As soon as the onions are completely dried, they are processed further.
• Note: Do not remove the onions from the oven until they are completely dry. If the onions are still damp, there is a risk that your powder will mold quickly.
• Finally, crush the dry onion slices in a blender or with a mortar.
• Your onion powder will keep for several months in an opaque storage jar or in a dark place.
