Servings: 8 servings
Equipment
- 1 Garlic press optional
Ingredients
- ½ cup olive oil
- 1 clove of fresh garlic minced
- ½ teaspoon fresh rosemary
- 1 teaspoon fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon fresh basil
- Pinch of fresh thyme
- Pinch of crushed red pepper flakes
- 2 tablespoons freshly grated parmesan optional
Instructions
- Pour the olive oil onto a plate or shallow bowl.
- Mince the garlic and chop the fresh herbs. Sprinkle over the oil and mix. Serve with your favorite bread.
Notes
- I love to use a garlic press for mincing the garlic. It's thorough and keeps the long-lasting aroma of garlic off of my hands.
- Add a pinch of salt into the mix, if desired.
- Experiment with different herbs and flavors to your liking.
- You can use fresh or dried herbs, but adjust accordingly. Dried herbs can be more intensely flavored, requiring less than the suggested amount of fresh herbs.
- Drizzle over grilled chicken or steak, or add to a pasta dish for flavor.
- Leave out the parmesan cheese for a dairy-free version.
