I have never been able to buy onion powder in the UK and have had to rely on a friend who regularly visits Barbados to bring me some American powder that she can get there. However you can easily make your own at home. If you do not have a dehydrator, you can dry them in the oven on its lowest setting in which case they will dry quicker (although their nutritional value will be reduced).
