Roasting fennel brings out its inherent sweetness, and gives it nice browned edges. Serve with roasted meats, roast chicken, stews, or other roasted vegetables.
You'll see that this recipe is quite flexible - make one bulb of fennel or 10, it depends on how big your oven is and how many people you have to feed!

Ingredients:
- Fennel
- Olive oil
- Salt
Preparation:
Preheat oven to 375°F. Cut fennel into spears or bite-size chunks. Put fennel in a roasting or baking pan. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat the fennel. Sprinkle with salt, cover with foil or a lid, and bake/roast for 20 minutes. Uncover and continue roasting until fennel is tender and browned, about 20 more minutes (this may take longer, it depends on how fresh the fennel is).
Serve roasted fennel warm or at room temperature.
