Peel the garlic cloves<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Divide the garlic heads into cloves and completely remove the outer skin. You may want to cut away any internal sprouts if present.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">2. Finely slice the garlic<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Using a sharp knife or mandolin, slice the cloves thinly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> This will help\u00a0<strong>the garlic dry evenly<\/strong>\u00a0.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">3. Dry the garlic<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Arrange the slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper (or in the dehydrator baskets), making sure that they do not overlap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>In the oven<\/strong>\u00a0: cook at\u00a0<strong>60\u00b0C with ventilation<\/strong>\u00a0for 2-3 hours, turning every now and then.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>With dryer<\/strong>\u00a0: set at\u00a0<strong>55-60\u00b0C<\/strong>\u00a0for approximately\u00a0<strong>6-8 hours<\/strong>\u00a0.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The garlic is ready when it is completely dry and crumbly to the touch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">4.
