Granulated Garlic Recipe

Granulated Garlic Recipe

Make your Granulated Garlic recipe to add savory flavor to your dishes for years. Granulated garlic is an excellent substitute for powdered garlic, adding a more robust taste and texture. Garlic powder and granulated garlic might have differences in texture, but they both have rich garlic flavor that is ready to use whenever needed.

Equipment (affiliate links)

  • Dehydrator
  • Magic Bullet Blender

Ingredients

  • 10 Fresh Garlic Cloves
  • 1 teaspoon Olive Oil

Instructions

  • First things first, prepare the garlic by washing and drying. Slice into small, thin pieces and get your dehydrator ready.
  • Arrange your garlic by spraying some olive oil first in the dehydrator trays, and once finished, assemble all the slices, making tiny spaces from each piece. Prepare the dehydrator and set the temperature to around 160° Fahrenheit or 70° Celsius. Start drying them for about 6 hours.
  • Prepare your magic bullet blender and start placing the dried garlic into the cup. If you feel more creative, add a small amount of salt or dry herbs to season. Start blending dried garlic by pulsing for a few seconds, and check if the granule form is perfect enough for you.
  • When blending the garlic, you have to check occasionally and ensure you will not get a fine powdered one. Since I was using a magic bullet, I double-checked while blending because the dried food would most likely get powdered easily. Keep them as a pantry staple, and be ready to use them for cooking.

Notes

  • Salt - as I have mentioned, a pinch of salt is optional as it can enhance the taste of the garlic.
  • Pulse use short pulses rather than continuous blending. This helps achieve a consistent texture without over-processing the garlic.
  • Consistency - after each pulse, check the texture. Aim for a fine, uniform granulation. If needed, shake or stir the contents to ensure even blending.
  • Customize - feel free to customize the granulation based on your preferences. Some prefer a finer consistency, while others like it a bit coarser. It is your garlic, so make it the way you like it.
