- Add the minced garlic cloves and 2 tablespoons of lemon zest.
- Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of chili powder over the mixture.
- Mix all the ingredients thoroughly to ensure the olives are well coated.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours. For best results, marinate overnight to allow the flavors to meld together.

- Spread the almonds evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven.
- Roast the almonds for about 10-15 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even roasting. Keep a close eye on them to avoid burning.
- Once roasted, remove the almonds from the oven and let them cool to room temperature.
- After the olives have marinated for the desired time and the almonds have cooled, combine them in a serving bowl.
- Optionally, add caperberries for an added tangy flavor.
- If you like, garnish the bowl with a few caperberries to add a pop of acidity and visual appeal to the dish.
- Serve the marinated olives, spiced almonds, and caperberries as a delightful appetizer or a side dish with your favorite beverages. Enjoy!
Tips:
- Use a mix of various types of olives for more complex flavors and textures.
- Allow the olives to marinate overnight for an even deeper infusion of flavors.
- Roast the almonds at a low temperature for a longer period to avoid burning and achieve an even toast.

- Add some fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme to the marinade for an extra aromatic touch.
