Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup canola oil
  • 1 medium shallot, finely diced (about 2 tablespoons)
  • 4 tsp garlic, minced
  • 3 tbsp dried minced onion
  • 1 tbsp red pepper flakes add more for a spicier oil
  • 1 tbsp kosher salt
  • 1 tbsp chili powder
  • 2 tsp 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 (no more than 1-2 minutes), REDUCE HEAT to low.
  • Cook the shallots and garlic on low for 20-25 minutes (stirring occasionally) until browned and crispy, making sure not to burn. KEEP AN EYE ON IT! THIS MAY COOK FASTER THAN EXPECTED!
  • In a small bowl, add minced onion, red pepper, kosher salt, chili powder, and paprika. Mix together.
  • Place a mine-mesh strainer over the bowl and pour the garlic mixture into the strainer, letting the oil drain in with the seasonings. Mix the oil with the seasonings while the shallots and garlic cool and crisp slightly.
  • Once the garlic and shallots have cooled (after 20-30 minutes), add them to the oil and mix.
  • Add chili oil to a clean jar with a tight-fitting lid. Store at room temperature for up to 30 days. Stir well before serving.
