Ingredients
- 1 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons sweet paprika
- 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
- 2 cloves garlic (optional, smashed)
Directions
Step 1
In a small saucepan, pour olive oil and warm it over low heat. Avoid letting it reach a simmer or boil; the goal is to gently heat the oil for infusion.
Step 2
Add sweet paprika, smoked paprika, and the optional smashed garlic cloves to the saucepan.
Step 3
Stir the ingredients gently for 5–7 minutes, keeping the heat low to avoid burning the paprika or garlic.
Step 4
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the mixture cool to room temperature for about 15–20 minutes.
Step 5
Strain the oil through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth into a clean glass bottle or jar to remove any solids.
Step 6
Seal the jar or bottle tightly and store the paprika oil in a cool, dark place or in the refrigerator. Use within 2–3 weeks for best flavor.
