Separate garlic cloves and peel them. Shaking the cloves vigorously in a closed jar helps loosen the skin and makes peeling much easier.

Using a vegetable chopper, chop your garlic cloves so they are minced into uniform bits.

Spread a piece of parchment paper on a cookie sheet. Using a spatula spread minced garlic onto the lined cookie sheet in a thin and even layer.

Turn on the oven to your lowest setting, the ideal temperature is 150° F but the lowest mine goes is 170°F. I use the convection setting on my oven, it helps the garlic dry faster.

Stir the drying garlic every so often to help it dry evenly. it will take about 2-2 1/2 hours to fully dry.

The garlic is dry when it has the consistency of corn flakes and will break instead of bending. Let the garlic cool.

Using a clean coffee grinder, grind the garlic until the desired consistency is reached.
