You’re going to love the extra flavor that garlic olive oil gives your favorite dishes. Try it in some olive oil bread dip or drizzled over pasta salad!

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.
