I love shallots. They have such a good flavor for sauces and such. They kind of have an onion flavor with hints of garlic in it.
Some days I want to flavor my greens (other other dishes) with shallots and I don't have them on hand.
I dehydrated some shallots by finely chopping them and placing them on parchment paper on my dehydrator racks. I can't tell you how long it took, but about the same as drying chopped up onions.
I use parchment paper because it will fall through the racks, and when it's all dry. . .
I can lift the paper and fold it to slide it all down into the coffee mill I use.
I have two jars of shallot powder now in the pantry. Mmm!
Less space, less in my freezer, and until I get that root cellar built......
Ever since I re-organized those cupboards last year, the kids can find every spice and herb they could want in there now.

Just know that when we moved here, a row of leeks and a row of shallots popped up where the old residents had their garden. They were good and I've been using leeks instead of onions ever since, cause I developed an allergy to onion products a few years back, and now when I eat them, it's like I've been poisoned. Leeks are about the only thing my system will tolerate, cause you know there are just some things that can't be made without an onion of some kind - like a meatloaf, etc.
Prayers for a safe happy week ahead.
God bless.
