Hot Jalapeno Chili Oil

Store in a cool, dark place. Refrigeration can help preserve freshness for longer, but may cause the oil to solidify. Allow to come to room temperature before use.

Use it as a finishing oil to add heat and flavor to finished dishes.

Drizzle over pizza, pasta, or rice bowls.

Mix into salad dressings or marinades for a spicy twist.

Add to soups or stews for an extra layer of complexity.

The longer it sits, the spicier and more flavorful it becomes.

Using fresh jalapenos: Dried jalapenos are essential for flavor development and shelf stability.

Overheating the oil: High heat can burn the peppers and spices, resulting in a bitter taste.

Not storing it properly: Exposure to light and heat can degrade the flavor and shorten its shelf life.
