Garlic Powder     

Ingredients:
Garlic

Preparation:
Break apart bulbs and peel the skin from the individual cloves. Slice the cloves thinly and uniformly. Perfection is not needed here but keep in mind that thicker pieces will increase drying time.

Spread your sliced garlic in an even layer on a baking sheet and place in an oven preheated to 170 degrees for approximately 90 minutes. To check for doneness, try bending one of your garlic pieces. If it's flexible, there's still too much moisture in it. If it snaps cleanly in half, it's ready.

Crush in a mortar and pestle or process in blender until most of the garlic has a fine, powdered consistency. If there are still some small pieces left you can sift these out and try to crush them further, if you prefer.
