Roasting olives is a unique and delicious way to serve this classic snack. In fact, the right combination of herbs, spices, fruits and chili peppers will create an intoxicating aroma that will have your guests excited for cocktail hour. We love using bright and briny Frescatrano® or Castelvetrano olives or a classic Greek olive mix, but experiment with your favorites—there are no bad combos!
