Steps
Place pepper rings and onion rings on your dehydrator racks, don't crowd them If any tiny pieces want to fall through your racks, like an area with parchment paper for those.
Dehydrate at 140 degrees till crisp. Time will vary based off type of dehydrator, location, weather, vegetables used, thickness etc. Could take 4-24 hours depending.
Alternately, dehydrate in an oven on a rack placed over a baking sheet or on a parchment paper lined baking sheet at 200 degrees for 4-12 hours. If vegetables are directly on a baking sheet, move them around every 2 hours.
Place dried peppers and onions in your blender and blend till dust. Add in an equal amount of salt (or less salt if watching salt) blend again. Taste and adjust if necessary. Store in a sealed jar.
Optional, add in 1/4 as much garlic powder as you have ground peppers/onions as well as other seasonings you may have on hand to make your own special seasoning.
