Roasted Fennel Bulbs
This simple preparation of fennel brings out the natural sweetness of the vegetable, while also allowing the anise quality to mellow a little bit.
Ingredients
- 2 - 4 fennel bulbs
- 1 - 2 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
- 1/4 - 1/2 tsp. kosher salt or sea salt or other coarse salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
- Trim off the fronds (everything above the bulb) and cut the fennel bulbs into quarters.
- Toss them with the oil to coat them, put them on a baking sheet, sprinkle them with the salt, and bake. After 15 - 20 minutes, flip the fennel and cook it for an additional 15 - 20 minutes until the edges are browned and the centers are soft.
