Roasted Kalamata Olives Recipes

Steps:

• Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 375°F. Combine tomatoes, oil, garlic, vinegar, and crushed red pepper in 13x9x2-inch glass baking dish. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Roast until tomatoes are tender and juicy, stirring occasionally, about 45 minutes. Stir in oregano. (Can be made 2 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature.)
• Cook pasta in large pot of boiling salted water until just tender but still firm to bite. Drain. Return to pot. Add tomato mixture, olives, and capers. Stir over medium heat until heated through, about 2 minutes. Add feta and stir until melted and creamy, about 2 minutes. Divide pasta among 6 plates; sprinkle with pine nuts and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 400°F.
• In a bowl, combine the olives, rosemary, orange zest, olive oil, chili flakes and salt and toss to coat.
• Divide the olive mixture between 2 tapas pans and bake until the olives are warmed through, 7 to 10 minutes.
• Serve warm or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Line baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• On the baking sheet, place the asparagus and kalamata olives. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with lemon pepper. Toss to coat. Roast for 10 to 12 minutes or until asparagus is crisp-tender.

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350. Drain and rinse brine from the olives, place them in a glass or stainless steel pan, and bake for 35-40 minutes. The olives are done when the meat begins to shrink up and the skins look wrinkled.
• 2. Remove olives from the oven, place in a bowl, stir in the vinegar, olive oil and oregano, and serve.

Steps:

• Put all ingredients in food processor and puree.
• Heat in saucepan over medium heat.
• Serve over your favorite pasta and top with grated parmesan cheese!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°F with rack in lower third.
• Cut cauliflower lengthwise into 3/4-inch-thick slices. Put in a large 4-sided sheet pan and toss with 2 tablespoon oil and 1/2 teaspoon each of salt and pepper. Roast, turning once or twice, until golden and just tender, about 25 minutes.
• While cauliflower roasts, mince and mash garlic to a paste with a pinch of salt, then whisk together with lemon juice, remaining 2 tablespoons oil, olives, 1/8 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Serve cauliflower drizzled with Kalamata vinaigrette.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a 12x18-inch baking sheet with foil or parchment paper.
• Combine olive oil, garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and freshly ground pepper in a small, microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on High for 20 to 30 seconds. Watch carefully, and remove from the microwave when the oil bubbles. Set aside.
• Combine cauliflower florets, red onion, and red bell pepper in a large bowl. Pour in the olive oil mixture and stir until all the vegetables are coated. Spread out vegetables on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
• Roast in the preheated oven until vegetables reach the desired doneness, 20 to 25 minutes. Broil if you like additional color, carefully watching that the vegetables do not burn, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Sprinkle sliced olives over the vegetables and drizzle with balsamic vinegar. Garnish with fresh parsley. Serve warm.
