Onion powder

Onion powder is in 23 recipes and is not a substitute for onion — it is a different flavour that happens to share a name. Drying concentrates the sweet, slightly sulphurous notes and removes all of the sharpness and water, so it seasons a dry rub or a sauce evenly without adding texture or moisture. Alongside garlic powder and paprika it forms the base of nearly every fried chicken coating and burger sauce reproduced on this site. Substituting fresh onion gives a wetter, sharper, completely different result.
