Small glass bottles of homemade infused oil with herbs and spices, one tied with a red ribbon, on wooden surface.
Cooking tip: Most commercially available chili crisp options include some sugar, but when you make this flavorful, spicy condiment at home, you can make it sugar free! There are many options for chili peppers you can use so feel free to experiment with any fresh chilies. If you choose to use dried chilies, look up the shock-fry method which works well for ingredients that are mostly dried.

Ingredients:

  • 3/4 cup grapeseed oil
  • 1/2 cup (75g) fresh Fresno chili peppers, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons white sesame seeds
  • 1 tablespoon (6g) fresh minced ginger
  • 2 teaspoons Sichuan peppercorns, crushed
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons (4g) minced fresh garlic
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons coarse kosher salt

Directions:

In a small pot stir all ingredients together. Warm over low heat stirring regularly, reducing heat if needed to make sure ingredients don’t burn. Cook until sesame seeds are golden brown and foaming/sizzling from mixture is subsiding, about 45 minutes. Allow to cool for at least 5 minutes before scraping into a clean heat-resistant glass jar. Can be stored covered, in the refrigerator for about 1 month. One serving is 1 tablespoon.
