Roasted olives are perfect as an appetizer or just for a pre-dinner snack and simple to execute, too. The citrus and rosemary subtly complement the olives’ flavor perfectly.

These are super easy to make and if you like olives, you will love them. I added a dash of crushed red pepper to them, so they have a little bit of a kick. The roasting really deepends the flavors of not only the olives but the citrus and rosemary as well. Use non-pitted olives, as they have more flavor with the pits and they’re more fun to eat that way.
