Ingredients
- 10 pieces Garlic cloves
- 1 cup Neutral cooking oil (e.g., vegetable, canola, or sunflower oil)
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
Directions
Step 1
Peel the garlic cloves and slice them thinly into even pieces, approximately 1-2 mm thick, to ensure uniform cooking.
Step 2
Pour the neutral cooking oil into a small saucepan or skillet and set it over medium-low heat.
Step 3
Once the oil is warm (not hot), add the garlic slices, ensuring they are evenly spread out and submerged in the oil.
Step 4
Cook the garlic slices gently, stirring occasionally, for 8-10 minutes. The heat should be low enough that the garlic cooks slowly and evenly, turning golden brown without burning.
Step 5
As soon as the garlic slices are golden and crisp, use a slotted spoon to remove them from the oil and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Step 6
Sprinkle the crispy garlic chips with a small pinch of salt while still warm to enhance their flavor.
Step 7
Let the leftover garlic-infused oil cool completely before straining it into a clean jar or container for storage. The oil can be used to drizzle on dishes or as a cooking base.
Step 8
Store the crispy garlic chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week, and the garlic-infused oil in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
