Best 8 Crispy Garlic In Oil Recipes

CRISPY GARLIC AND GARLIC OIL

Steps:

• Slice the garlic cloves very thin.
• Heat the oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, about 3 minutes, until the garlic is golden brown.
• Drain well, reserving the oil. Spread the garlic slices on paper towels to dry. Store in an airtight container, where they will keep for months, and reserve the oil for cooking.

CRISPY GARLIC IN OIL

Steps:

• Heat a small skillet over low heat.
• Add the oil and heat until a bit of garlic added to the pan sizzles at once - a minute or two. Add the garlic and stir gently to separate.
• As the garlic begins to turn golden and release its fragrance, stir gently. Watch carefully because the garlic can burn quickly. When half the garlic has turned golden, remove from the heat and set aside. The garlic will continue to cook in the hot oil once it is removed from the heat.
• Set the pan aside to cool to room temperature.
• Transfer the garlic and oil to a glass jar and store in the refrigerator.
• Note: Do not chop the garlic too finely as this will increase its tendency to burn.

GARLIC OIL

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, bring the garlic and oil to a boil, then turn the heat to low, and cook for 5 minutes, until the garlic is lightly browned. Turn off the heat and set aside. The garlic will continue to cook.
• Remove the garlic cloves from the oil and slice them. Place them in a bowl and pour the oil over them.

CRISPY FRIED GARLIC AND GARLIC OIL RECIPE

Steps:

• If cooking on stovetop: Combine chopped garlic and oil in a 2-quart saucepan or wok. Place over medium-high heat and cook, stirring frequently with a heat-resistant rubber spatula, until garlic begins to bubble steadily, 2 to 3 minutes. Continue cooking, stirring frequently and scraping down the sides and bottom of the saucepan to ensure even cooking and prevent garlic from sticking and scorching, until garlic turns pale golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes longer. Working quickly, pour contents of saucepan into prepared strainer set over bowl. (Garlic will continue cooking for a brief period after draining, so do not allow it to get too dark.) If cooking in microwave: Combine garlic and oil in a large microwave-safe bowl and stir to break up any clumps. Microwave on high power for 5 minutes. Stir with a heat-resistant rubber spatula, scraping down sides of the bowl. Continue to microwave in 2-minute increments, stirring between each round, until garlic begins to turn lightly golden, 4 to 8 minutes total. Microwave in 30-second increments, stirring between each round, until evenly pale golden brown, 30 seconds to 1 minute and 30 seconds longer. Working quickly, pour contents of bowl into strainer set over bowl. (Garlic will continue cooking for a brief period after draining, so do not allow it to get too dark.)

CRISPY GARLIC CHIPS

Steps:

• Using a small slicer or a mandoline, slice the garlic very thin.
• Heat the olive oil in a 10-inch cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until very hot. Line a plate with two paper towels. To test the temperature of the oil, add a slice of garlic. If it sizzles, add the rest of the garlic and cook until just crisp and light golden brown, a matter of seconds. Use a flat slotted skimmer to keep the slices from sticking together as they cook, and transfer them to the paper towels to drain the moment they turn color. (The oil can be strained and used for another batch or reserved for another use.)

CRISPY GARLIC DIPPING OIL FOR BREAD

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients in a parchment lined baking dish. Bake at 375* for 10 minutes. Stir and return to oven for 5 minutes. Stir and if garlic is crispy but not burned, remove from oven. If not yet crispy, return to the oven for up to 5 more minutes, checking often so that garlic doesn't burn. Serve in shallow dishes with your favorite crusty bread, adding additional olive oil if desired.

GARLIC OIL

Steps:

• Crush garlic cloves with the back of a knife on a flat surface; remove peel. Pour olive oil in a jar and add garlic cloves. Cover and refrigerate until flavors blend, 2 to 5 days.

CRISPY SHALLOTS AND GARLIC

Steps:

• Add the shallots and oil to a large saucepan. Cook over high heat, stirring occasionally, until the oil bubbles intensely, about 7 minutes; turn heat to medium-low to maintain a spirited simmer. 6 minutes later, add the garlic. Cook, stirring often, and more frequently as it darkens, until the shallots turn from sticky to fluffy and medium golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes later.
• Strain, keeping the oil, and drain the shallots and garlic in one layer on a paper-towel-lined baking sheet. Season with salt, and let cool until crisp. Fried chips will hold in an airtight container for 3 days, or for 2 months in the refrigerator. The oil, which is great for dressings or drizzling, holds for 2 months in the refrigerator.
