Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup olive oil
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoons red chili flakes (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
Instructions
In a small saucepan, pour in the olive oil and heat over low heat for 2-3 minutes, until warm but not smoking.
Add the garlic powder to the warmed oil and stir gently to combine.
If desired, add the dried rosemary and red chili flakes to infuse additional flavors. Stir well.
Allow the oil to heat for an additional 5-7 minutes, ensuring it does not reach a boil. The goal is to gently infuse the flavors into the oil.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the oil cool to room temperature.
Strain the oil through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth to remove any solids, especially if optional ingredients were added.
Stir in the salt to season the oil. Mix well.
Transfer the garlic powder oil into a clean, airtight jar or bottle.
Store in a cool, dark place or in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Allow the oil to reach room temperature before use if refrigerated.
