Oil Spray First
Spray oil into the pan before adding the onions.
Deglaze with Water
Add water after the onions begin to caramelize to deglaze the pan and form a thick, brown mixture.
Spread Thin for Dehydration
Lay the caramelized onion mixture thinly on a silicone baking mat to promote even drying in the dehydrator.
Final Bake for Crispness
After crushing the dehydrated sheets, bake the powder briefly until it turns crisp and golden.
