Step 1
In a small saucepan, pour in the olive oil and heat over low heat for 2-3 minutes, until warm but not smoking.

Add the garlic powder to the warmed oil and stir gently to combine.
Step 3
If desired, add the dried rosemary and red chili flakes to infuse additional flavors. Stir well.

Remove the saucepan from heat and let the oil cool to room temperature.
Step 6
Strain the oil through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth to remove any solids, especially if optional ingredients were added.
