Roasted Olives and Lemons Recipe

Ingredients

Scale

2 Medium Lemons

1 lb Mixed Olives, such as Cerignola, Castelvetrano, and Picholine

1 TBS Zoltan’s Za’atar

2 TBS Lemon Olive Oil

1/4 tsp Red Pepper Flakes

Freshly Ground Black Pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F [220°C].
  2. Slice 1 ½ of lemons into ¼” rounds. Reserve last ½ lemon.
  3. In a small bowl add all remaining ingredients and the lemon slices. Toss until well coated.
  4. Roast, tossing occasionally, until the lemons start to caramelize, and the mixture is very fragrant, 10 to 15 minutes.
  5. Squeeze the remaining quarter of the lemon over the mixture and use a wooden spoon to gently scrape up any caramelized bits. Serve warm with humus, ricotta and honey, and fresh warm pita wedges.
