Toast fennel seeds in a large skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until fragrant, about 3 minutes. Add lemon zest strips, bay leaves, olives, oil, and Aleppo pepper; cook, stirring, until just warmed through, about 3 minutes.

Remove any pits, if possible. They are easily removed from the warm olives.

Serve immediately in a serving dish or bowl with fancy cocktail toothpicks on the side.

10-12 servings.

*Don't throw out the leftover seasoned olive oil! You can use it for bread dipping.
