FAQ
Can I use fresh garlic instead of powder?
Yes, use 3 minced cloves per tbsp of powder, but mince very fine and dry completely (30 minutes) before mixing to prevent moisture and clumping.
How long does this keep after mixing?
Up to 3 months in airtight container at room temperature. Garlic powder potency fades over time, so fresher is better for stronger flavor.
Can I freeze this seasoning blend?
Not recommended. Freezing introduces moisture and degrades flavor. Room-temperature storage in airtight container works best.
