Ingredients

• 2 cups Mixed olives (e.g., Kalamata, Castelvetrano, green, black)
• 2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves, thinly sliced
• 2 sprigs Fresh rosemary sprigs
• 3 sprigs Fresh thyme sprigs

• 0.25 teaspoons Freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Rinse the olives under cold water to remove any excess brine, then drain well and pat dry with a kitchen towel.

Step 3

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the olives with the olive oil, sliced garlic, rosemary sprigs, thyme sprigs, orange zest, crushed red pepper flakes, and black pepper. Toss until the olives are evenly coated.

Step 4

Transfer the olive mixture to a baking dish or shallow oven-safe skillet, spreading them out in a single layer.

Step 5

Roast the olives in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even roasting.

Step 6

Remove from the oven and allow the olives to cool slightly before serving. Discard the herb sprigs if desired.

Step 7

Serve the roasted olives warm with crusty bread or crackers as an appetizer.
