How To Make Chili Oil – The Recipe
First, gather up the following ingredients:
- 1 cup canola oil – or any neutral oil such as peanut oil, though yes, you CAN use Olive Oil
- 3 tablespoons crushed dried peppers
- Dash of salt if desired
Next, add the oil, dried peppers and salt (if using) to a small pot and stir. Heat to medium-low heat and stir often for about 5 minutes.
Do not allow the oil to smoke. If it smokes, remove it from the heat to reduce the temperature. The goal is not to boil the oil, but to slowly simmer it, allowing the flavors of the peppers to infuse it.
After 5 minutes, remove from heat and cool to room temperature. You can simmer longer to infuse even more flavor. Pour it into a bottle or jar and seal it. You can strain it if you’d like.
BOOM! Done! Super easy, isn’t it? Soon you’ll be making chili oils of your own and drizzling it over anything and everything.
Refrigerate and use within a month.
