Peel the garlic cloves and slice them evenly into thin slices, about 1-2 mm thick. Ensure the slices are uniform to cook evenly.
Pour the neutral oil into a small, heavy-bottomed skillet or saucepan, ensuring the oil is deep enough to submerge the garlic slices.
Place the skillet over medium-low heat and allow the oil to warm up gently. Test the heat by placing one garlic slice into the oilβit should bubble lightly. If it browns too quickly, reduce the heat.
Carefully add the garlic slices to the oil in small batches to avoid overcrowding. Stir gently with a slotted spoon or chopsticks to prevent sticking.
Fry the garlic slices until they turn golden brown, about 1-2 minutes. Be cautious not to overcook, as they can burn quickly and turn bitter.
Once fried, transfer the garlic chips immediately to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Sprinkle the salt evenly over the warm garlic chips for seasoning.
Let the garlic chips cool completely to achieve maximum crispiness. Store in an airtight container for up to one week.
