Vegetable Powder

We like our food full of flavor around here. One of my favorite tricks to add flavor is to add vegetable powder. Since I already dehydrate a wide variety of foods, I usually have what I need on hand.

Vegetable Powder

½ cup dried tomato chips

¼ cup dried carrot pieces

¼ cup dried celery pieces                               

¼ cup dried onion pieces

¼ cup dried mushroom pieces

2 tablespoon dried parsley

Place everything in a spice grinder and pulverize into a powder. Store in an airtight container, such as a handy dandy half-pint canning jar.

If you have a small spice grinder like I have, you’ll want to grind smaller amounts at a time. Pour each load into a small bowl. Stir well and grind one more time so everything is evenly mixed.

Use this powder in soups, stews, gravies, etc. I use it in place of beef base, beef bouillon, and beef stock in most recipes. It adds so much flavor without adding salt!

Thanks for stopping by! Do you have a vegetable garden? Don’t forget to toss some of your harvest into the dehydrator. Do you buy extra when different fruits and vegetables are in season to can or to freeze? Pick up a few more for the dehydrator. Dried veggies are wonderful in a soup or stew and dried fruits make some amazing desserts!

Grace and peace be yours in abundance,

Betty
