How to Make Onion Peel Powder

Materials Needed

  • Onion Peels: Collect peels from yellow, red, or white onions.
  • Oven or Dehydrator: For drying the peels.
  • Blender or Food Processor: To grind the dried peels into powder.
  • Airtight Container: For storage.

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Collect and Prepare the Peels
    • Gather onion peels from your kitchen. Make sure they are clean and free from dirt. You can use peels from onions you’ve already chopped for other dishes.
  2. Dry the Peels
    • Oven Method: Preheat your oven to 200°F (93°C). Spread the onion peels in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake for 1-2 hours, checking periodically until they are completely dry and crispy.
    • Dehydrator Method: If you have a dehydrator, set it to 135°F (57°C) and dehydrate the peels for 4-6 hours until they are fully dry.
  3. Blend the Dried Peels
    • Once the peels are completely dry, allow them to cool. Then, place them in a blender or food processor. Pulse until you achieve a fine powder consistency.
  4. Store the Powder
    • Transfer the onion peel powder to an airtight container. Store it in a cool, dark place. The powder can last for several months if stored properly.
