Homemade Carrot Powder - Recipe

Dehydrating and powdering carrots is an easy kitchen project. With just a few basic supplies, you'll have homemade carrot powder in no time.

Ingredients
  

  • Carrots
  • Knife & peeler
  • Baking sheets
  • Parchment paper
  • Dehydrator or oven
  • Blender, spice grinder, or food processor

Instructions
 

  • Wash and peel carrots thoroughly. Trim off ends.
  • Slice carrots very thinly, about 1/8 inch thick. You can use a mandoline for perfectly even slices.
  • Line baking sheets with parchment paper. Arrange carrot slices in a single layer on sheets.

Dehydrate:

  • If using a dehydrator: Dehydrate carrots at 125°F for 6-10 hours, checking occasionally, until completely dried and brittle.
  • If using oven: Place baking sheets in oven and prop door open slightly. Dehydrate at lowest oven temperature setting (usually 150-170°F) for 6-12 hours.
  • Allow dried carrots to cool completely before handling to avoid condensation.
  • Working in small batches, grind cooled carrot chips into a fine powder using a high-powered blender, spice grinder, or food processor.
  • Store carrot powder in an airtight container in a cool, dark place for up to 1 year.
