Step 1
Thinly slice the 4 garlic cloves and the 1 red chili pepper (remove seeds for less heat).
Step 2
In a small saucepan, combine the 0.5 cup olive oil, sliced garlic, and chili pepper. Heat over medium-low until the garlic sizzles gently and turns light golden, about 5 minutes.
Step 3
Remove from heat and stir in the 2 tbsp red pepper flakes. Let the oil cool completely; the garlic will crisp and the oil will turn deep red.
Step 4
Transfer to a jar or bowl. Use immediately or store in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
