Herb Roasted Olives with Burrata

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 450℉ and remove the burrata from the liquid and place onto a paper towel to dry.

Step 2

Drain the olives from any oil or brine.

Step 3

Slice or chunk up half of the olives, leaving the other half whole for a variety of shapes and sizes.

Step 4

Add the olives, garlic, onion, rosemary, thyme, lemon peels, and red pepper flakes to an oven safe dish then pour the olive oil over top.

Step 5

Bake for 30 minutes until very fragrant, the oil is sizzling, and the garlic is golden. Stir the olives at the 15 minute mark.

Step 6

Nestle the burrata into the olives, then gently break it open to expose the center (careful not to get your fingers in the hot oil).

Step 7

Top with pieces of fresh dill and basil. Serve with a spoon and toasted slices of focaccia bread, ciabatta, or a baguette.
