Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Rinse the olives and pat them dry with a paper towel.
- Strip the thyme leaves from the stems if you haven't done so already.
- Mince the garlic cloves finely.
- In a mixing bowl, add the olives, orange juice, fresh thyme leaves, minced garlic, and olive oil.
- Toss the ingredients together until the olives are evenly coated.
- Spread the olive mixture in an even layer on a baking dish or a lined baking tray.
- Pour any remaining liquid mixture over the olives.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven.
- Roast for about 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the olives are tender and slightly wrinkled.
- Remove the roasted olives from the oven and let them cool slightly.
- Transfer to a serving bowl and enjoy warm or at room temperature.
Tips:
- For a bit of spice, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the marinade.
- To ensure even cooking, stir the olives occasionally during roasting.
- Fresh thyme works best for this recipe, but if you're in a pinch, dried thyme can be used—just reduce the amount to about 1 teaspoon.
- Marinate the olives for at least an hour before roasting to allow the flavors to meld together.
Enjoy these Orange and Thyme Roasted Olives warm or at room temperature. They pair wonderfully with crusty bread, cheese, or as part of a charcuterie board. This recipe is a simple yet flavorful addition to any gathering or quiet evening at home.
