Grilled olives

/////////

INGREDIENTS
  • 1 cup mixed olives (green, black, Kalamata)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Preheat the grill to medium heat. In a bowl, mix olives with olive oil, rosemary, garlic, lemon zest, and crushed red pepper flakes.

Season the olive mixture with salt and pepper. Toss until olives are evenly coated with the seasoning and oil mixture for a flavorful marinade.

Place the olives in a grilling basket or wrap them in foil. Ensure they’re spread evenly for consistent grilling without falling through the grill grates.

Grill for 5-7 minutes, shaking the basket occasionally to prevent burning. The olives should become slightly charred with a smoky flavor but not too soft.

Once grilled, remove the olives from the grill and transfer them to a serving bowl. Let them rest for a few minutes to cool slightly.
