Ingredients
  

Roasted Olives

  • One 9.5-ounce jar GOYA Manzanilla Olives Stuffed with Minced Pimientos
  • ¼ cup GOYA Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 2 garlic cloves thinly sliced
  • 2 sprigs fresh thyme stemmed
  • 2 teaspoons freshly grated lemon zest
  • ¼ teaspoon GOYA Chili Flakes

Whipped Feta

  • 12 ounces feta cheese patted dry and crumbled
  • ¼ cup sour cream
  • 1 Tablespoon GOYA Lemon Juice
  • 1 clove garlic
  • ¼ teaspoon GOYA Adobo All-Purpose Seasoning with Pepper
  • 1 Tablespoon parsley, roughly chopped (optional)
  • Homemade or store-bought crostini for serving

Instructions
 

Make the Roasted Olives

  • Preheat oven to 425°F. In an 8-inch square baking dish, toss the olives with oil, garlic, thyme leaves, lemon zest, and chili flakes. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until heated through and lightly golden. Let cool slightly.

Make the Whipped Feta

  • In a food processor, combine the feta with the sour cream, lemon juice, garlic, and adobo seasoning. Pulse until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Transfer to a small serving bowl and spoon the roasted olives over the top.
  • Garnish with parsley, if using, and serve with crostini or crusty bread, for dipping.
