When your fresh onions start to sprout, it's time to turn them into the dehydrated variety.
Dried onions are easy to pack and store when hiking or camping.
In recipes, replace fresh onion with half the amount of dried onion. Spread thinly over trays. Dry at 120 degrees F for 24 to 30 hours or until brittle. Stir onions every 8 hours and rotate trays. Follow dehydrator steps 1 to 3.
