Preparing garlic
Separate 7 bulbs of garlic into individual cloves, then peel the garlic and rinse it under water once to clean off any remaining skin.

Sun-drying garlic
After slicing the garlic thinly, place it on a stainless steel tray, spreading the garlic evenly across the surface of the tray.

Transfer the garlic to a bowl and let it cool before preparing to proceed to the next step.

Prepare the Garlic
Separate the garlic into cloves and soak them in water for about 1 hour to make peeling easier.
Next, peel the garlic clean, rinse it again with water, and then place it in a basket to drain. After that, sun-dry the garlic until completely dry.
Once the garlic is dried, use a peeler to slice the garlic into thin slices.
Note: With this method, you only need to dry the garlic to remove the moisture, not to dry it until it turns yellow.
-
Drying garlic
Arrange the thinly sliced garlic in the air fryer, then set the temperature to 120 degrees Celsius and dry for 25 minutes.
Tip:
- To ensure the garlic is evenly crispy, you should divide the garlic into several portions to fry, avoiding putting them all in at once.
- Since different air fryers have different characteristics, open it every 5 minutes to check so you can easily manage the time to see if the garlic is golden and crispy enough.
-
Completion
The golden crispy garlic should be placed in a blender and ground into a fine powder.
Tip: To ensure the garlic is fine and not lumpy, you should blend the garlic in 2 – 3 batches.

Final Product
Garlic powder made using an oil-free fryer is extremely quick, and it doesn’t require too much effort, yet the final product is still delicious and of high quality.
The garlic powder is finely ground, fragrant, and perfect for marinating meat. Wishing you success!
How to choose delicious garlic
- To make good dry garlic powder, you should choose local garlic such as: Ly Son garlic or Phan Rang garlic because these two types are very fragrant and have a stronger pungent taste compared to other types of garlic.
- You should choose garlic bulbs that are still intact, with little peeling, and the cloves are plump and not shriveled.
- You should choose garlic that is dry so that when dehydrated and ground, the finished garlic powder will be dry and smooth rather than using fresh garlic that still contains a lot of moisture.
- Avoid choosing garlic bulbs that are eaten by pests or have sprouted, as they are not good for health.
How to store dry garlic powder
- You put the dry garlic powder in a glass jar/plastic jar with a tight lid for storage. If you have a large amount of garlic powder, you can place a moisture absorber inside to keep the garlic powder dry and prevent mold.
- Store the garlic powder in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
- If stored in the refrigerator refrigerator, garlic powder can be used for about 3 – 4 months.
