  • 4 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 3 tablespoons dried minced onion
  • 1 tablespoon red pepper flakes

Instructions

  1. Heat canola oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the finely diced shallots and minced garlic, stirring to combine.

  3. In a small bowl, mix together dried minced onion, red pepper flakes, kosher salt, chili powder, and paprika.
  4. Strain the garlic mixture through a fine-mesh strainer into another bowl to separate the crispy bits from the infused oil.
