Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).

Place the garlic cloves, oregano, and Montreal steak spice in an oven-proof deep bowl or Pyrex dish. Add light olive oil or canola oil just to cover the garlic cloves.

Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 20–25 minutes.

Remove from the oven and add the olives immediately. Mix well and allow to cool. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Pair with Melba toasts, crostini, or any salty cracker. It’s delicious served with the focaccia, too!
