Onion Powder
I figured id try making my own onion powder.. You can yeild ALOT more powder with dehydrating a batch of onions then buying a tiny 2oz jar, and its cheaper too.:D
I tried two techniques for drying them.. blanching and chopping them up.. both work fine for dehydrating.
The blanch meathod reduces the smell alot while dehydrating and seems to produce a brighter onion powder :)
