Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil Note 1
  • 6 garlic cloves Note 2

Instructions

  • First, prepare a plate lined with paper towel. Gather a slotted spoon.
  • Thinly slice the garlic cloves into even slices.
  • Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat just until it’s warm.
  • Add sliced garlic and fry for 2 minutes until golden, flipping them half way with a spatula. The oil will bubble up around the garlic slices, but it may look like garlic isn’t cooking for the first minute or so. Be patient and stay close by. Do NOT increase the heat to speed up the process. The garlic will burn over high heat.
  • Remove crispy garlic chips with a slotted spoon and drain them on paper towel. Once completely cooled, store in an airtight container for up to 1 month.
  • Transfer the oil into a mason jar to use for another cooking. Store the infused oil in the fridge.

Notes

Note 1: I use olive oil, because that’s what I mostly use for my everyday cooking. But you can use any kind of oil: avocado oil, vegetable/canola oil.
Note 2: I prefer hardneck garlic (usually available in Asian stores), which have bigger cloves and have more pungent and complex flavor. But softneck garlic (most grocery store carry this type) works fine too.
