Drain the olives from the can and set aside.

Mix together olive oil, minced garlic, lemon zest and red pepper flakes in a small saucepan.

Heat the mixture over medium heat until warmed and just starting to sizzle.

Pour the mixture of the olives and add lemon juice. Mix to cover the olives.

Let them marinate at room temperature, occasionally mixing to distribute the marinade.

Store in the fridge until ready to server.
