Roasted Olives
Roasting olives elicits their briny richness and aroma. Combine different varieties as the heat will bring out their distinct characteristics.
Ingredients
- 3 cups assorted green and black olives
- 2 rosemary sprigs, cut in half
- Zest of 1 orange, cut into long, thin strips
- 1⁄4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1⁄4 tsp. dried chili flakes
- Salt, to taste
Directions
Preheat an oven to 400°F.
