Roasted olives

Roasted olives are a simple yet flavorful dish that can be enjoyed as an appetizer or a side. Combining the briny taste of olives with the heat of chili peppers, aromatic garlic, and earthy oregano, this dish offers a delightful medley of Mediterranean flavors.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup olives
120g
2 red hot chili peppers
80g
1 tbsp capers
16g
1 tbsp dried oregano
16g
2 garlic cloves
6g
1 tbsp olive oil
14g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the Ingredients:
- Olives: Rinse the olives under cold water if they're too salty, then pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towel.
- Chili Peppers: Slice the chili peppers into thin rounds or chop them coarsely, depending on your preference for texture and heat dispersion.
- Garlic: Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
3. Combine Ingredients:
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the olives, sliced chili peppers, capers, minced garlic, and dried oregano.
4. Add Olive Oil:
Drizzle the olive oil over the mixture in the bowl. Toss everything together until all the ingredients are well coated with the olive oil and spices.
5. Transfer to Baking Dish:
Spread the olive mixture evenly in a single layer on a baking dish or a rimmed baking sheet.
6. Roast the Olives:
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven. Roast for 15-20 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until the olives are heated through and the garlic is fragrant and golden brown.
7. Cool Slightly:
Remove the baking dish from the oven and let the roasted olives cool slightly before serving. This allows the flavors to meld further.
8. Serve:
Transfer the roasted olives to a serving dish. They can be served warm or at room temperature.

Tips:

- For a mix of flavors, use a combination of green and black olives.

- If you prefer less heat, reduce the amount of chili peppers or remove the seeds before roasting.

- Consider adding a splash of lemon juice or zest for a hint of brightness.

- Use high-quality extra virgin olive oil to enhance the overall taste of the dish.

- Keep an eye on the garlic during roasting to ensure it doesn’t burn and turn bitter.

- You can also add fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme for additional flavor.

Roasted olives are a quick and easy dish that packs a punch of flavor. Perfect for parties or as a savory snack, these olives will be a hit with anyone who enjoys bold, Mediterranean-inspired tastes. Serve them warm for the best experience.
