Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 10 pieces Garlic cloves
- 1 cup Neutral cooking oil (e.g., vegetable, canola, or sunflower oil)
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
Instructions
Peel the garlic cloves and slice them thinly into even pieces, approximately 1-2 mm thick, to ensure uniform cooking.
Pour the neutral cooking oil into a small saucepan or skillet and set it over medium-low heat.
Once the oil is warm (not hot), add the garlic slices, ensuring they are evenly spread out and submerged in the oil.
Cook the garlic slices gently, stirring occasionally, for 8-10 minutes. The heat should be low enough that the garlic cooks slowly and evenly, turning golden brown without burning.
As soon as the garlic slices are golden and crisp, use a slotted spoon to remove them from the oil and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Sprinkle the crispy garlic chips with a small pinch of salt while still warm to enhance their flavor.
Let the leftover garlic-infused oil cool completely before straining it into a clean jar or container for storage. The oil can be used to drizzle on dishes or as a cooking base.
Store the crispy garlic chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week, and the garlic-infused oil in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
