High Fructose Corn Syrup Free Garlic Mint Herb Oil
This fragrant finishing oil is the kind of thing that makes even the simplest meal feel intentional. Warm olive oil slowly coaxes the flavor out of smashed garlic before a generous handful of fresh mint, parsley, and thyme steeps right in the pan, turning the whole thing a gorgeous pale green. The result is bright, herby, and deeply aromatic — equal parts elegant and effortless. Bottled dressings and flavored oils are notorious for sneaking in sweeteners and additives you never asked for, so making your own from scratch is a genuinely smart move. Every single ingredient here is exactly what it sounds like: real herbs, real garlic, good olive oil, and a pinch of sea salt. Drizzle it over roasted vegetables, grilled bread, fish, or a bowl of soup and watch it disappear. It keeps in the fridge for up to five days, though it rarely lasts that long.

- ¼ tsp fine sea salt
Instructions
- 1
Combine the olive oil and smashed garlic cloves in a small saucepan over low heat. Warm gently until the garlic is fragrant and just beginning to turn pale gold at the edges, about 6–8 minutes — watch closely, as garlic can brown quickly and turn bitter.

Remove the pan from the heat and add the mint leaves, parsley, and thyme sprigs. Let the herbs steep in the warm oil, off the heat, for 15–20 minutes, until the oil is deeply fragrant and has taken on a light green tint.
