Directions (aka The Epic Saga of Making This Dish):
- Preheat your oven to a temperature that makes it feel like a cozy sauna (let’s say 400°F/200°C).
- In a bowl, assemble your olives, garlic, lemon and orange peels, and rosemary. Mix them up like you’re at a dance party (but not too aggressively, we don’t want anyone getting bruised).
- Drizzle that olive oil over the mix and sprinkle in the black pepper and salt. Give it a gentle toss to coat everything in that flavorful goodness.
- Grab a baking dish or a pan. Dump (in a stylish manner) your olive mix in there and spread it out evenly. This is their stage; let them shine!
- Pop that glorious mix into the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until those olives start doing a happy dance (aka get slightly roasted).
- While your olives are getting their groove on in the oven, slice up that baguette into lovely, bite-sized pieces. Arrange them like they’re awaiting the olive royalty’s arrival.
- Take out the olive mix from the oven. Let it cool down for a minute or two; we don’t want any burned fingers.
- Now, crumble that feta on top of your olives like you’re sprinkling fairy dust on magical creatures. Let it melt into the warmth of the olives and embrace the flavors.
- Grab those baguette slices and dunk them into the olive mix like you’re rescuing them from a flavorless existence.
- Enjoy the medley of flavors, laugh at the jokes your taste buds are telling you, and relish in the glory of your culinary creation!
Voilà! You’ve just created a comedic masterpiece of roasted olives with feta, garlic, and citrus. Dive in and let the flavors do a stand-up routine in your mouth!
