Minced is an adjective describing the onion.

Mincing is a process of chopping something (usually onions/garlic) into fine pieces. So whatever onion you’d normally use would be fine – if the recipe doesn’t specify then I’d use the typical white or yellow onion.

Minced garlic is the same thing – finely chopped fresh garlic. To substitute: (Substitute 1 clove for every 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder.) So if your recipe calls for 1 clove (and a clove is a section of your garlic) then you can use 1/8 of a teaspoon of garlic powder. It won’t be exactly the same though – fresh is usually best.

Ditto as above – minced just means cut up really small. It doesn’t mean that you’re not using “real” onion or garlic. I noticed that you reference powdered garlic. Here’s some info on powdered onion and garlic. It says 1 lb. of onion powder = 10 lbs. of onions, and 1/8 tsp of garlic powder=1 clove of garlic.

Now, in the case of minced garlic, I’m wondering if you mean the stuff that’s already prepared that comes in a jar. I use that, and it says on the label what the conversion is. Off the top of my head, I seem to remember that 1/2 tsp.=1 clove.
