Time to warm up with Freestyle: Warm Marinated Olives

As the summer season approaches, it's time to gear up for outdoor gatherings, barbecues, and entertaining friends and family. If you're looking to elevate your snack game and add a touch of sophistication to your spread, look no further than Freestyle Snacks' marinated olives. While they're delicious straight out of the pouch, warming them up on a skillet takes their flavor profile to a whole new level.

Why Warm Olives?

Our marinated olives have a rich, savory flavor that can be further enhanced by gently heating them. Warming olives on a skillet allows their natural oils to release, intensifying their taste and aroma. The heat adds a subtle smokiness and enhances the complexity of the marinade, making them even more irresistible. Warm olives provide a unique and unexpected twist, elevating your snack table to a new level of sophistication.

Ingredients:

To prepare warm marinated olives on a skillet, you'll need:

• A pack of Freestyle Snacks olives of your choice (can even mix & match flavors)
• Olive oil (for the skillet)
• Optional: additional herbs, spices, or citrus zest for garnish

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Skillet: Begin by preheating a skillet over medium heat. Ensure the skillet is large enough to accommodate the olives in a single layer for even heating.

2. Heat the Olive Oil: Add a tablespoon of olive oil to the preheated skillet. Allow the oil to heat for a minute, ensuring it coats the bottom of the skillet evenly.

3. Add the Olives: Easily pour the pack of Freestyle olives into the skillet

4. Sauté the Olives: Gently sauté the olives for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally. The heat will awaken their flavors and create a delicious aroma.

5. Optional Garnish: If desired, you can add extra herbs, spices, or citrus zest to the skillet during the last minute of cooking. This will infuse the olives with additional fragrance and flavor.

6. Serve and Enjoy: Once warmed through, transfer the olives to a serving dish. Pair them with crispy bread, crackers, or alongside a cheese and charcuterie board for a delightful summer snack.

Warming up Freestyle Snacks marinated olives on a skillet is a simple yet effective way to elevate your entertaining experience. The combination of heat and the natural flavors of the olives will create a taste sensation that will be sure to impress your guests.
