1 tablespoon (medium) of Red pepper oil (with a little olive oil) (13 g) has 105 calories. That works out to 810 calories per 100 g. It contains 0.3 g of carbs, 0.1 g of protein, 11.6 g of fat and 0.2 g of fiber. Its 143 µg of Vitamin A covers 16% of the Daily Value. Its glycemic index is 0 (low), so it raises blood sugar slowly.
Red pepper oil (with a little olive oil) is a glossy, pepper-flecked condiment made by letting red pepper flavour oil; the olive oil adds a faint fruity note. Its heat depends on the pepper used, so it may be gently savoury or distinctly spicy. Across many cuisines, it is drizzled over soups, eggs, roasted vegetables, beans or dips, or served at the table for people to add to taste.
It is mostly fat and therefore energy-dense, while a small spoonful can bring plenty of colour and pepper flavour. Start with a little if you are unsure about the heat, and try it over yogurt-based dips or a simple soup for contrast.

Make red pepper oil with a little olive oil by pouring warm—not smoking hot—oil over dried red pepper flakes and letting them infuse. Avoid overheating the flakes, which can burn and taste bitter. Cool the mixture before transferring it to a clean, dry container.
Use red pepper oil with a little olive oil as a finishing condiment for soup, eggs, pasta, roasted vegetables, or dips. Drizzle it on after cooking so the pepper flecks keep their aroma and do not scorch.
Red pepper oil with a little olive oil can range from mildly warm to very hot, depending on the pepper used. Start with a small drizzle and taste; oil made with sweet paprika is much milder than one made with hot chili flakes.
Store red pepper oil with a little olive oil in a clean, dry, tightly closed container in the refrigerator. Keep water and used utensils out of it. If it was made with fresh peppers, do not leave it at room temperature and use it promptly.
There is no single reliable shelf life for red pepper oil with a little olive oil, because the ingredients and preparation matter. Refrigerate homemade batches, and discard them if you notice mold, an off smell, or an unusual change in appearance.
Red pepper oil with a little olive oil is a type of pepper-infused oil, but it is not always the same as chili oil. Chili oil may use hotter peppers and additional seasonings, while this version gets its character from red pepper and a small amount of olive oil.
Yes, but red pepper oil with a little olive oil is best added near the end of cooking or used as a topping. The pepper flecks can burn over high heat, leaving a bitter flavor, so it is not ideal as a deep-frying oil.
Red pepper oil with a little olive oil tastes savory and peppery, with an oily texture and a gentle olive note. Its heat varies with the pepper; the flakes also add a stronger, more concentrated flavor than the oil alone.
Red pepper oil with a little olive oil can replace plain oil when you want a peppery flavor and color. It is not a neutral substitute for baking or delicate dishes, because the pepper can change both the taste and appearance.
Red pepper oil with a little olive oil can add flavor to a meal, but it is still an oil-based condiment, so a small drizzle is usually enough. Hot peppers may aggravate reflux symptoms in some people; use less if you notice that effect.
