Slice the onions in half and remove the peeling and film.
Slice or dice your onion, depending on your preferences.
If your dehydrator does not have fine mesh screens, line the trays with parchment paper or silicone dehydrator liners.
Place the sliced or chopped onion in a single, even layer on each of the dehydrator sheets.
Set the dehydrator to 125ºF (52ºC) and place each of the filled trays into the dehydrator.
Dry for 10-24 hours, or until all of the pieces are brittle and break easily.
Turn off the dehydrator and allow the sliced or minced onions to completely cool in the dehydrator.
Transfer them to a glass jar with a lid for conditioning.
Place the glass jar in a visible location for 24 hours, shaking it a few times throughout.
If any condensation or fogging shows in the jar, return your food to the dehydrator and dry again.
If your food passes the conditioning test, transfer it to airtight jars or containers for storage.
For onion powder: Add the completely dried onion slices to a spice or coffee grinder and grind until it is broken down into a fine powder.
