Homemade Chili Oil with Aleppo Chili

Homemade chili oil is a gamechanger in your kitchen! With its mild heat and rich, fruity flavor, Aleppo Chili adds a unique depth that makes this oil more than just spicy - it's packed with character. The coarsely flaked chili infuses the oil with a warm, aromatic heat that perfectly balances garlic, sesame, and a touch of sweetness.

Drizzle it over pizza, fried eggs, noodles, crisp salads, or grilled vegetables, and watch how this flavorful oil elevates every bite. The best part? You can easily adjust the spice level to suit your taste buds.

2 tbsp Aleppo Chili
2 tbsp white sesame seeds
2 large garlic cloves (pressed)
1 tsp sugar
1.5 tsp salt
300 ml neutral oil (such as sunflower oil)

Place Aleppo Chili, sesame seeds, garlic, sugar, and salt in a heatproof bowl.

Heat the oil in a saucepan until it’s nearly boiling.

Carefully pour the hot oil over the spices and let it sizzle. Stir gently and allow the chili oil to cool completely.

Transfer the chili oil to a clean jar with a lid and store in the fridge.

Tip! Adjust the amount of Aleppo Chili and garlic depending on how spicy you want your oil. The more, the bolder!

Enjoy!
