Ingredients
Oil Mixture
- 1 cup canola oil
- 1 medium shallot, finely diced (about 2 tablespoons)
- 4 teaspoons garlic, minced
Seasoning Mixture
- 3 tablespoons dried minced onion
- 1 tablespoon red pepper flakes, or more for a spicier oil
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 2 teaspoons paprika
Instructions
- In a medium skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add shallots and garlic. Stir to combine. Once the mixture is bubbling (after 1-2 minutes), reduce heat to medium-low.
- Cook the shallots and garlic on low for 20-25 minutes (stirring occasionally) until golden brown and crispy, making sure not to burn.
- In a small bowl, add minced onion, red pepper, kosher salt, chili powder, and paprika to create your seasoning mixture.
- Place a fine-mesh strainer over the bowl and pour the hot garlic mixture into the strainer, letting the oil drain in with the seasonings. Leave the hot shallots and garlic in the strainer and set aside to cool.
- Once the garlic and shallots have cooled (after 20-30 minutes), add them to the oil mixture and stir.
- Add chili oil to a clean jar with a tight-fitting lid. Store at room temperature in a cool, dark place for up to a few weeks. Stir well before serving.
