If you’re anything like me, then you know that garlic is one of the best ingredients in the kitchen. And when you infuse it into some good quality olive oil, well, get ready for some serious magic! Garlic infused olive oil can be used in countless dishes, adding a rich and savory kick to everything from pasta to roasted veggies to a slice of good crusty bread. Prepare to be addicted!

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!

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.

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.

It takes less than 10 minutes, so why not make yourself a bottle? I know you’ll love how it turns out and want to use it for everything!

I like to keep the garlic cloves in the container and add in some sprigs of rosemary and thyme for a pretty presentation. This is completely optional.

Basically, you can substitute this garlic-infused olive oil for any recipe that calls for regular olive oil. It will just add a delicious pop of garlicky flavor! Some of my favorite ways to use it are in bread dips, homemade salad dressings, hummus, or mashed potatoes
