Note

Store in a covered jar in the refrigerator for up to one week. Always check for signs of spoilage before use.

Use within a few days for the best flavor, as garlic oil can lose its potency over time.

For a stronger garlic flavor, you can increase the amount of minced garlic, but be careful not to burn it.

This oil is great for drizzling over cooked vegetables, noodles, or rice. It also makes an excellent base for stir-fries.

Do not leave garlic oil at room temperature for extended periods due to the risk of botulism. Always refrigerate.

You can substitute vegetable oil with other neutral oils like canola or sunflower oil if preferred.
