Kelsy made her ranch dressing with onion powder in it and wow, did it ever have a delicious kick. Dehydrated onions are a great way to get the flavor punch you thought you had to give up with the switch to real food. No MSG needed!
Peel your onions and slice them about 1 millimeter thick. Put them on your dehydrator trays. Run the dehydrator at 145F for about 12 hours.

When the onions are dry, put them in a jar to store them. You can eat them as spicy chips or use them in your cooking.

You can crush them to a powder when you are ready to use them, or leave them whole and store that way.

Thanks for sharing! This has got me thinking! Would this work well with garlic?
It’s worth a shot! I think I would slice the cloves of garlic before dehydrating them.
Great recipe! I added it to my ever-growing list of 101 Dehydrator recipes. If you have more, please add them here: 101 Dehydrator Recipes.
I wish I had a dehydrator! How long do they keep?
They’ll keep indefinitely in the freezer. As for how long in the cupboard – I don’t know. They never last that long!
