                                                  Oven made onion powder


Onion which is also known as bulb onion is a widely cultivated vegetable.

Onions are low in calories and packed with nutrients and minerals. Onions are eaten raw and raw onions are used in salads which are delicious. Onions are fried, used in curries and soups. The smell of fried or caramelized onions is irresistible.

Today I want to bake onion in the oven to make onion powder which is expensive in the shops.     I am going to bake 3 kilos of onions.

Recipe follows in detail with pictures.


 Preparation time: 2 hours

Cooking time:6 hours

First clean the outside skin of the onions. Then wash well and wipe them with a napkin. After that cut the onions into quarter pieces.Then cut them into small pieces. I used a food processor to do this part. It is impossible to cut 3 kilos by hand. You can bake 1 kg at a time. 

                                                              Spread the processed onion in an oiled tray. You can see aluminum foil at the bottom of my onion tray. It is troublesome. Please don’t use. as I did. I do not know about laying a baking sheet. I have not tried.

                                

                                                         Shredded raw onion                                            

 

   Bake the onion at 100°Celsius, stirring occasionally. I used two trays and it took 6 hours to bake.  It turned out be good. Cool the produce in the trays and grind it. The yield was approximately 330 grams. When you bake 1 kg you will get around 111 grams. 

                                    

                                                      After baking the shredded onion

To make a small quantity we can use the air fryer. I will try and let you know.

                                      

                                                              Final oven roasted onion
