Lemon & Herb Roasted Olives with Burrata: An Amazing Ultimate Recipe


  • Author: Lauren Baker
  • Total Time: 40 minutes

Ingredients

– 2 cups mixed olives (e.g., Kalamata, Castelvetrano, and green olives)
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 1 lemon (zest and juice)
– 2-3 cloves garlic (smashed)
– 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary (chopped)
– 1 tablespoon fresh thyme (chopped)
– 1 tablespoon fresh oregano (chopped)
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 1 ball burrata cheese
– Fresh herbs for garnish (optional)


Instructions

Creating Lemon & Herb Roasted Olives with Burrata is simple when you follow these easy steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare the Olives: In a mixing bowl, combine the mixed olives. If you have whole olives with pits, you may want to pit them for easier eating.
3. Mix Ingredients: Add the olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, smashed garlic, chopped rosemary, thyme, oregano, salt, and pepper to the olives. Toss everything well to ensure the olives are evenly coated.
4. Arrange in Baking Dish: Transfer the mixture to a baking dish, spreading the olives out in an even layer for optimal roasting.
5. Roast the Olives: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and roast for about 20-25 minutes, or until the olives are soft and fragrant.
6. Prepare the Burrata: While the olives are roasting, take the burrata out of the refrigerator to allow it to come to room temperature. This enhances its creamy texture and flavor.
7. Serve: Once the olives are roasted, remove them from the oven. Allow them to cool for a few minutes, then transfer them to a serving platter, placing the burrata in the center.
8. Garnish: Optionally, sprinkle fresh herbs over the top for additional color and flavor.

These steps will lead you to a delightful creation that is as enjoyable to make as it is to eat!
