- Take your grinder (we use a coffee grinder) to grind the onions to small pieces.Alternatively, if you don't want them small, place into the jar and press down to make them smaller, but not minced.

- Place the powder into a separate jar.

- Label and place the jar tops on.

Notes
If you can, place the dehydrator outside (protected from the elements).
Onions are stinky and will fill your house (and nose) with the smell of onions. And the smell will linger for a few days.
