Steps:
- Drain the green and black olives from the brine or oil that they're packed in and place them in a medium bowl. Add the orange zest, garlic, fennel seeds, thyme leaves, red pepper flakes, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Pour the olive oil over the mixture, add the thyme sprigs and toss to combine.

Tips:
- Choose ripe olives for pickling. Unripe olives are bitter and less flavorful.
- Use a variety of seasonings to flavor your olives. Common seasonings include garlic, rosemary, thyme, oregano, and red pepper flakes.
- Experiment with different brines. You can use water, vinegar, or oil as the base of your brine. You can also add salt, sugar, and herbs to the brine to flavor it.
- Be patient. Olives take time to pickle. The longer you let them pickle, the more flavorful they will be.
Conclusion:
Seasoned olives are a delicious and versatile snack or appetizer. They can be enjoyed on their own or used as an ingredient in other dishes. With a little planning and patience, you can easily make your own seasoned olives at home.
