Dehydrating garlic is easy when you use Elephant, often called Mammoth Garlic!
As the name implies, it's much bigger than regular bulbs, like four times bigger! (See photo farther down this page.) Elephant garlic is milder in taste than its smaller counterpart.
Garlic has a great source of vitamin A, vitamin C, and vitamin B6, followed by Choline. There are trace amounts of vitamin K, Folate, Niacin, Thiamine, Riboflavin, and Pantothenic Acid. It is a good source of Potassium, Phosphorus, and Calcium, followed by Iron and Manganese. There are trace amounts of Zinc, Copper, and Selenium and contains Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids.
Great for use in tons of recipes: Soups and stews, Italian dishes of all types!
It can also be ground up for use in powder form! Add equal amounts of salt to the ground powder and you now have Garlic Salt.
NOTE: While dehydrating, you may want to consider dehydrating some onions at the same time if you've got a spare dehydrator tray or two available! In other words, don't mix garlic and onions with, say, apples, when dehydrating – unless you WANT your APPLES to taste like GARLIC or ONIONS!!
ALSO: Run your stove hood vent (if you have one). This will quickly take the odor out of your house.
If you're out on a date, then make sure both
partners eat this pungent veggie, you'll thank each other later for that tip!
Air Ventilation Warning
You may also wish to have your windows OPEN, or put the A/C on while you're dehydrating onions or garlic ... as the very strong odor can certainly circulate throughout the whole house!
If
you ABSOLUTELY LOVE onions and garlic it's not such a bad thing ...
but if you don't ... just sayin'!

When dehydrating garlic, watch out for strong odors as mentioned earlier. Either you LOVE garlic, or you DON'T!
