Garlic powder is made from garlic cloves that have been dehydrated and ground into fine powder. The flavour is garlicky but vastly different than fresh-chopped garlic. It tastes sweeter and much less assertive than fresh garlic. Garlic powder is a popular ingredient in spice blends and dry rubs. It’s used to season veggies and proves a welcome addition in snacks like popcorn and roasted nuts. Garlic powder can even be used to get brighter flavours in low-sodium dishes. Uses mixed with other spices and herbs to make a dry rub. Added to soups and stews. Whisked into vinaigrettes. Used as a seasoning in sauces. Added to gravies. Mixed in with bread or pasta dough.
Sprinkled on pizza prior to baking. Mixed into burger when making hamburgers.
