In preparation for my Apocalypse Grow survival challenge, I HAVE to have some spices and flavorings…but only if I grow them myself. I had to clear a bed out, so I harvested some garlic early and turned it into a green garlic powder.
Clean, wash, and dice garlic into small, even chunks. Slice bulbs in halves or quarters for even dehydration. I dehydrated at 170°F for 9 hours, then blended finely. I would recommend a coffee grinder if you want it to be a pure powder texture.
This was my first time learning how to make garlic powder and I’m already feeling like a homesteading boss :P. It’s pretty easy, though I could use a dehydrator in the future. Let me know in the comments if you have a better method!

Hope you enjoyed this powder recipe! I always wonder what to do with my garlic tops, and this is a smoky, delicious, and flavorful way to make use of them 🙂
I bet your house smelled amazing. You should try making your own cayenne pepper powder, it's the real deal. I make it every year and it lasts forever, but blows the store-bought out of the park!
I love this idea!
Hey that's cool, thank for the great idea!
I really like the idea of drying the stems of the garlic. That would also work for onions. No more buying dried onions or garlic for me. WOW !
Thanks! I’m planning on doing some powders this year for the first time…
I have found one of the simple things in life even though it has a larger up front cost I like using a plug in dehydrator as it will allow you to get lower in temp and greater control at those lower temperatures.
Awesome! I have some “failed” garlic in pots now I would like to take out to make space.
Thank you sir for the confidence you have helped me achieve in gardening. You inspire me to become a better plant owner. 🙂
Kevin, It's wonderful , thanks! I'll use your method to make my own wild leek powder.
I grow aquaponically with no media other than water. Often if I dont sell all my products pr have bumper crop, I do the same thing; but I have a food dryer. I then produce blends of microgreen salts, dried soup stocks and use the dried roots as fish food powder.
Amazing, thank you first for letting me know I passed over those "funny-looking" scallions too many times! Second, I dont have a dehydrator yet and I was trying to think of a way to dehydrate some things (Moringa, microgreens) without going downstairs and putting a rack in my car windshield! Food dehydrator is definitely in my list!
Great video God bless
GENIUS
Such a great channel! I look forward to your videos
Could you replant the root ends?
You have yourself a real nice setup around your place down there.
They would have dehydrated faster if had been cut them into much smaller pieces.
what do u mean by apocalypse grow survival challenge
This so so interesting
Epic Gardening, I dyedrate my herbs in a glass open jar in the back of the fridge shelf! It works amazingly! Just put them dry in the jar.
Hello, just watch it now. I want to grow some garlic and use the leaves just what you did. But how many months the powder will expire? Thanks
FYI you can make an easy solar dehydrator with a cookie sheet with a cooling rack set in it, and a pyrex casserole pan turned upside down over it. Definitely not a lot of space, but it's great for doing a small batch of cherries or tomatoes. I find it usually takes about 2 days.
Thanks
In Indonesia, we use that just as it is , chopped them finely and garnish them on top of any food, mostly soup cause the aroma comes out nicely with hot water.
I wonder how that room smelled after 10 hours of slow roasting garlic.
