Roasting fennel gives it a lovely buttery, caramelized flavor and brings out its natural sweetness. Serve with roasted pork tenderloin, grilled lamb, or a fatty fish such as salmon.
Ingredients
- 2 medium fennel bulbs
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons white balsamic vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground thyme
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Trim the stalks off the fennel, setting the green fronds to the side to later use for garnish, if desired. Trim the root ends to create a flat surface; there is no need to remove the core. Slice fennel into 1/4- to 1/3-inch slices and place on the baking sheet.
Step 3
Whisk together olive oil, vinegar, garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Brush over the fennel slices.
Step 4
Roast in the preheated oven until fennel is soft and caramelized, 25 to 30 minutes, turning slices over halfway through. Remove to a serving platter and garnish with green fronds, if desired.
