Ingredients
- 3 large yellow onions
- 1 teaspoon salt
Directions
Step 1
Peel the onions and slice them evenly into 1/8-inch thick rings or strips, depending on your preferred shape for drying.
Step 2
Separate the onion slices and lay them in a single layer on a clean paper towel to remove moisture.
Step 3
Sprinkle the onions lightly with salt to help draw out excess liquid and enhance their flavor.
Step 4
Preheat your dehydrator to 135°F (57°C). If using an oven, preheat it to the lowest possible setting (around 170°F or lower).
Step 5
Arrange the onion slices on dehydrator trays or a lined baking sheet in a single layer, making sure there is space between each piece for proper airflow.
Step 6
Dehydrate the onions for 4 to 6 hours if using a dehydrator, or 8 to 12 hours if using an oven, flipping the slices halfway through. The onions are ready when they are completely dry, crisp, and brittle.
Step 7
Allow the dried onions to cool completely before storing them in an airtight container or glass jar to maintain freshness.
Step 8
Use as a topping, snack, or grind into onion powder for seasoning.
