For a milder garlic flavor, infuse the oil for a shorter period of time. Experiment with adding other herbs and spices, such as red pepper flakes, rosemary, or thyme, to create your own custom-flavored oil. Use this garlic oil to drizzle over pasta, roasted vegetables, grilled meats, or as a base for salad dressings.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
5 mins
Using the flat side of a chef's knife, gently crush each garlic clove to release its aromatic oils. Remove the peel. (5 minutes)
02
Step
0 mins
In a clean glass jar or container, combine the crushed garlic cloves and extra-virgin olive oil.
03
Step
48 hrs
Seal the jar tightly and refrigerate for at least 2 days, or up to 5 days, to allow the garlic to fully infuse the oil. The longer it infuses, the more intense the garlic flavor will become. (Infusion time: 2-5 days)
04
Step
10 mins
After the infusion period, strain the oil through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth to remove the garlic solids. This will prevent the garlic from continuing to flavor the oil and potentially becoming bitter over time. (10 minutes)
05
Step
0 mins
Transfer the garlic oil to a clean jar or bottle and store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
