Garlic Olive Oil Recipe

If you haven’t been cooking with olive oil, you really need to come to the dark side. I don’t think I could live without it! It adds a delicious, earthy, and slightly fruity flavor to any recipe. Plus, it’s full of healthy fats and is a much healthier option than vegetable or canola oil. And if you’re already an olive oil fiend like me, then it’s time to be mind-blown: olive oil infused with garlic! I mean, can you ever really get enough garlic? Why not infuse it into your cooking oil! The flavor is so incredible, I don’t think I want to go back to regular olive oil. I also added fresh herbs to my mixture for a little extra flavor, but this is totally optional! Making your own blend is part of the fun.

Ingredients Needed

You could technically just use olive oil and fresh garlic, but I added fresh herbs to my garlic olive oil as well. Exact measurements can be found below in the recipe card.

Olive Oil: Don’t skimp! Using a high-quality olive oil makes all the difference in its flavor. Pure or extra-virgin olive oil is the way to go. Garlic Cloves: Fresh garlic cloves work best. Fresh Herbs: I added a sprig of rosemary, but you can also add things like basil, parsley, or dill! It’s so fun to experiment with different flavors and see what you end up with.
