- 0.5 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.25 teaspoon salt

Instructions
In a small saucepan, heat the extra virgin olive oil over low heat.
Add the minced garlic to the pan and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
Add the fresh rosemary sprigs to the pan and warm for an additional minute to infuse the oil with its aromatics.
Turn off the heat and let the oil cool for a couple of minutes.
In a small serving dish, combine the infused oil with the balsamic vinegar, crushed red pepper flakes, dried oregano, salt, and ground black pepper.
Remove the rosemary sprigs from the pan and discard or use as garnish if desired.
