Instructions
- The first thing to do is to peel the whole cloves of garlic and wash them with clean water. Slice them into thin slices to dry them later in the dehydrator. They will dry faster if they are thinly sliced.
- Prepare the dehydrator trays and attach a plastic silicone insert if possible so the chopped garlic will be placed perfectly and not fall off. Spray a little olive oil on the surface of the trays and spread it all around. Lay all the garlic slices on top of each other. Do not stack them on top of each other, as we do not want uneven drying. If you are preparing a large batch, use more trays. Close the lid, and dry at 70°C for 6-7 hours.
- After drying the garlic, prepare it for blending. Grind the dehydrated garlic slices by pulsing using the Magic Bullet Blender. Only press the blender fully if you want a finer consistency. Check if the size of the granules is okay. They should look like cornmeal but in garlic bits.
- Follow the same process as I did for the granulated garlic. Toss the dehydrated garlic slices into the blender and grind until powdered. Garlic powder has a finer consistency, so press that blender until fully powdered.

Notes
- Picking garlic - When choosing garlic for these recipes, look for the freshest ones and pick white ones with crispy skin on the outside. You can also smell the garlic bulbs and tell if they are fresh.
- Olive oil - Spraying olive oil in the dehydrator trays before the garlic will help prevent slices from sticking during drying. Olive oil can also enhance the flavor of the garlic once dried.
- Grinding - You can use a food processor, coffee grinder, mortar, and pestle to grind the granulated and powdered garlic.
