🍶 INGREDIENTS
(Spoiler alert: You only need one)
Clean, dry onion skins (yellow, red, or white) 🧼 (A handful = a small jar)
⚡ MAGICAL STEPS: MICROWAVE ALCHEMY
1. EPIC HARVEST 🧺
"Every skin is a treasure. Don't throw it away!"
Store them in a clean, dry bag in the refrigerator.
Pro tip: Add red onion skins for an irresistible golden-pink powder.
2. PRESS WASH 💦
Rinse the onion skins with cold water and then gently dry them without crushing them.
3. MAGIC MICROWAVE 🧙♂️
This isn't a tutorial for burning down the kitchen!
3 minutes on full power (they should crisp up).
Then:
Express option (microwave): 1 minute + turn + repeat until completely dry.
Slow option (dehydrator): 4 to 6 hours at 55°C.
⚠️ Keep an eye on them! No smoke = no drama.
4. GOURMET GRIND ✨
Let cool to avoid stickiness.
Puree in a coffee grinder, blender, or food processor.
Sift for an ultra-fine texture.
