Thinly slice the 4 garlic cloves and the 1 red chili pepper (remove seeds for less heat).

In a small saucepan, combine the 0.5 cup olive oil, sliced garlic, and chili pepper. Heat over medium-low until the garlic sizzles gently and turns light golden, about 5 minutes.

Remove from heat and stir in the 2 tbsp red pepper flakes. Let the oil cool completely; the garlic will crisp and the oil will turn deep red.
