Ingredients

Scale

Chili Oil Ingredients

  • 1 cup dried chili flakes
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 2 cups avocado oil or olive oil

Instructions

  1. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a heat-proof bowl, add the dried chili flakes, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Stir to distribute the ingredients evenly.
  2. Heat the Oil: Pour the avocado oil or olive oil into a small pot and set it over low to medium heat. Heat the oil gently for 2 to 3 minutes, ensuring it does not come to a boil to avoid burning the oil.
  3. Infuse the Oil: Carefully pour the hot oil over the chili flakes mixture in the heat-proof bowl. Stir well as the chili flakes sizzle, which helps release the flavors without overcooking them.
  4. Cool the Oil: Allow the chili oil to cool completely to room temperature while allowing the flavors to meld.
  5. Store the Chili Oil: Transfer the cooled chili oil into a mason jar or airtight container. Seal tightly.
  6. Refrigerate and Use: Store the chili oil in the refrigerator for up to 6 months. Use it to add spice and flavor to any dish as desired.

Notes

  • Use avocado oil for a neutral, high smoke point oil, or olive oil for a fruitier flavor.
  • Ensure the oil is hot enough to sizzle the chili flakes but not boiling to preserve flavor and prevent bitterness.
  • If the oil is not hot enough, the chili flavors won’t infuse as well.
  • Store the chili oil in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain freshness and longevity.
  • Adjust the amount of chili flakes if you prefer milder or hotter chili oil.
