Roasted Olives Recipe: Easy & Elegant Appetizer

This is my kind of recipe.

I keep the ingredients on hand and can easily whip out this attractive and delicious appetizer in less than a half-hour. In fact, I have even frozen the feta and it defrosts just fine.

Truthfully, the most time-consuming part of this Roasted Olives Recipe is peeling the garlic, but if you have a silicone garlic peeler, then even that process is quick.


You can serve this delicious olive appetizer warm, right from the oven or at room temperature, just put out some little plates and toothpicks and let your guests enjoy.

If you like olives as much as we do, make sure to check out my Marinated Castelvetrano Olives recipe…a family favorite.
