Ingredients
- 4 cups assorted olives (kalamata, black, green, Spanish, etc...), drained
- zest of 2 oranges
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 teaspoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
- 2 teaspoon fresh thyme, finely chopped
- 2 teaspoon whole fennel seeds
- ¾ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ cup olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450°F. Add the drained olives to a medium bowl. Add the orange zest, garlic, rosemary, thyme, fennel seeds, red pepper flakes, salt and black pepper. Pour the olive oil over and toss to combine.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and evenly spread the olives over. Bake for 15 minutes. Remove and serve warm.
Notes
- Use fresh herbs, but if you must, dry herbs work in a pinch. Just reduce the amount to ⅓ of the dried herbs so ⅔ teaspoon each of dried rosemary and dried thyme.
- Use quality olive oil as part of the taste comes from it.
- Leave out bowl for pits of olives to be placed in.
