Toasted Onion Powder from Burlap & Barrel

Rich with the savory-meets-sweet allure of caramelized onions, Burlap & Barrel Toasted Onion Powder breathes life into everything it touches. Typical onion powder, often made with white onions, can be overly sharp and astringent, but this toasted onion powder is made from milder and sweeter yellow onions that lend a warmer, caramelized umami note. Grown in Vĩnh Phúc, Vietnam, the onions are toasted, sliced, sun-dried and ground to achieve a concentrated powder that packs more of an oniony punch than a fresh bulb. 

How to use

You can substitute Toasted Onion Powder for fresh onions when in a pinch, but the powder is especially handy in recipes where onion slices just won’t cut it—think dry rubs or seasoned flour for fried chicken and pork cutlets, and baked goods like savory scones and cornbread. We also love using this onion powder to boost the flavor of dishes that incorporate fresh onions like tomato sauces, lentil soups, frittatas and quiches, salad dressings and so much more. Just as fresh onions are a must-have kitchen staple, Toasted Onion Powder is just as essential.
