Preparation
Marinating the Olives
Mix ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon zest, rosemary, thyme, and crushed red pepper flakes.
Add olives
Add the assorted olives to the mixture and toss until evenly coated with the marinade.
Chill
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, allowing the olives to soak up the flavors.
Ensure the olives are thoroughly coated to absorb the marinade. For an intense flavor, marinate overnight.
Cooking Process
Roasting
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Spread the marinated olives on a baking sheet and roast for 10 minutes.
Finishing
Remove the olives from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
