Step-by-Step Instructions for Roasted Grapes and Olives
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, toss together the ripe red seedless grapes and green olives. Drizzle in the extra virgin olive oil, fresh lemon juice and zest, then sprinkle in fresh thyme leaves, kosher salt, and ground black pepper, stirring until evenly coated.
