Hanging them in bunches?

Dehydrator trays?

Paper bags in the basement?

Share your drying + storage techniques for long-lasting flavour.

I dry herbs in bunches upside-down wherever I have the space.

I also slice and dry garlic in the dehydrator, then blend it into homemade garlic powder—it smells amazing!

I also peal and freeze garlic cloves.

Still working on the best way to cure onions without them sprouting.
