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.

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.
