Description

A simple and flavorful recipe for roasted fennel that makes a perfect side dish. The fennel is caramelized to bring out its natural sweetness and paired with a hint of lemon and Parmesan for a delightful taste.


Ingredients

Scale

Fennel:

  • 2 large fennel bulbs, trimmed and sliced into 1/2-inch wedges

Seasoning:

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • Freshly grated Parmesan cheese for serving (optional)

  1. Preheat: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Prepare Fennel: Place the sliced fennel on the baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Toss to coat evenly and spread in a single layer.
  3. Roast: Roast for 25-30 minutes, turning halfway, until tender and caramelized.
  4. Finish: Remove from oven, drizzle with lemon juice, and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese if desired. Serve warm.
