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).
The time given below for dehydrating is approximate as it does depend on the temperature and humidity of your kitchen.
