🧂 Ingredients

1 tbsp Italian Seasoning*

Dried
1/2 tsp Salt
1/4 tsp Black Pepper
1/4 to 1/2 tsp Red Pepper Flakes***

Optional or to taste
2 tsp Parmesan Cheese
6-8 cloves Garlic

Fresh, Smashed and Peeled
1/2 cup plus 1 tbsp Olive Oil

Good Quality
1 loaf Bread

Instructions

1 In a small skillet, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Heat the oil on low heat
until the oil is warm (not hot). Add the garlic and cook, stirring occasionally,
until golden brown (about 10-12 minutes).**
2 Using a slotted spoon, remove the garlic onto a paper-towel lined plate. Allow
to cool completely. The garlic will continue to crisp as it cools. Once the
garlic is cool, chop the garlic into small pieces.
3 In a small bowl, combine Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Add red
pepper flakes to taste.***
4 When ready to serve, add the toasted garlic, spice mixture, Parmesan cheese, and
olive oil to a small ramekin. Serve with a crusty loaf of bread.
