Onion powder is a popular seasoning that adds a rich, concentrated onion flavor to a variety of dishes. Whether you’re making soups, sauces, marinades, casseroles, or even adding a touch of flavor to salads and appetizers, onion powder is a kitchen staple.

Unlike fresh onions, onion powder has a long shelf life, making it an excellent option for adding that classic oniony taste without the hassle of chopping or peeling. Plus, turning fresh onions into powder is a fantastic way to preserve them and reduce food waste.

We are going to show you how to make your own onion powder at home using an air fryer. It’s a simple process that allows you to enjoy the full flavor of onions in a more convenient, long-lasting form.
