Roastedfennel Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Lightly oil the bottom of a 13 by 9 by 2-inch glass baking dish. Arrange the fennel in the dish. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, then with the Parmesan. Drizzle with the oil. Bake until the fennel is fork-tender and the top is golden brown, about 45 minutes. Chop enough fennel fronds to equal 2 teaspoons, then sprinkle over the roasted fennel and serve.

Steps:

• Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 475 degrees F.
• Pick 2 tablespoons of the tender green fronds from the tops of the fennel bulbs and set aside. Cut the remaining top and bottom from each fennel bulb, then cut the bulb in half lengthwise through the core. Use the tip of the knife to cut an upside-down "V" on the bottom of each bulb to remove most of the core, leaving just enough so the bulb stays intact. Cut each half through the core into wedges, about 1/4 inch thick.
• Add the fennel bulb, thyme, garlic, olive oil, red pepper flakes and 3/4 teaspoon salt to a large bowl and toss until evenly coated. Transfer to a rimmed baking sheet.
• Roast in the oven until the fennel is very tender and lightly browned in spots, 30 to 35 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter, top with the reserved fennel fronds and serve with the lemon wedges.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Remove the stems of the fennel and slice the bulb in half lengthwise. With the cut side down, slice the bulb vertically into 1/2-inch-thick slices, cutting right through the core. Spread the fennel slices on a baking sheet, coat with olive oil, salt, and pepper and toss with your hands.
• Roast the fennel slices for about 1 hour, turning them once after 30 minutes, until the edges are crisp and brown. Remove from the oven and cover with Parmesan shavings. Taste for salt and pepper and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• 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.
• Whisk together olive oil, vinegar, garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Brush over the fennel slices.
• 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.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.Toss together fennel, oil, thyme leaves and sprigs, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and the pepper in a large bowl. Spread fennel mixture into a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Roast fennel, turning occasionally, until browned, 50 to 60 minutes. Drizzle with lemon juice; season with salt.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400.
• Thinly slice the fennel bulbs and toss the in the olive oil, balsamic vinegar and sugar. Coat evenly in the mixture.
• Pour fennel mixture into a baking dish in a single layer.
• Sprinkle with the salt and pepper and some reserved feathery leaves.
• Roast at 400 for about 20-25 minutes or until tender and starting to carmelize.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Trim fennel bulbs. Halve bulbs lengthwise; slice lengthwise into 1/2-inch-thick pieces.
• On a rimmed baking sheet, toss fennel with oil; season with salt and pepper. Roast, turning once, until browned, 25 to 30 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F. Spray large rimmed baking sheet with nonstick spray. Combine fennel, olive oil, garlic, thyme, and crushed red pepper in large bowl; toss to coat. Spread fennel out on baking sheet; sprinkle with coarse kosher salt and pepper. Roast fennel 15 minutes. Using tongs, turn wedges over. Continue to roast until tender, turning 1 more time, about 20 minutes. Sprinkle olives over fennel. Roast until fennel begins to brown at edges, about 8 minutes longer. Season fennel with salt and pepper. Transfer to bowl and serve. DO AHEAD: Can be made 2 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature.
• Serve warm or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Place the following in a greased casserole (or Ziplock bag if preparing ahead.).
• Cut top and bottom of Fennel away, saving green leafy top as you can eat the whole Fennel using it for garnish or in salads.
• Peel exterior layer off Fennel.
• Cut Fennel in quarters lengthwise, then cut each quarter again if it is a large Fennel, and cut away 'core' from each piece. Place sliced Fennel in bowl or Zipper bag.
• Peel and slice Red Onion in quarters length wise. Add to Fennel.
• Core, seed and slice Red Pepper in similar manner. Add to Fennel.
• ***NOTE *** To coarsely crush garlic a little bit easier -- Break the head of the garlic into individual cloves with your hands and discard paper covering. Slice bottom of each garlic clove away and discard end. Place clove on a cutting board, lay a wide knife flat, or a spatula over the clove and smack it with your fist to crush it! The paper will just pop away, discard paper. Use garlic clove as desired.
• Peel and crush garlic cloves. Add to Fennel.
• Add Olives to Fennel.
• Add 1/4 cup olive oil, rosemary, kosher salt and pepper, mix coating vegs with the oil and spices.
• Mix lemon juice and wine in separate cup add 1/2 of the liquid to Fennel and mix all together.
• Set remainder of wine/lemon liquid aside until/if required during roasting.
• Pour fennel mixture into an appropriately sized casserole dish if not already there. If coming from a bag take a spatula and scrape all the yummy seasonings out of the bag and pour over vegs.
• Roast in oven at 425 degrees for approximately 30-45 min uncovered until nicely golden and softened.
• Stir occasionally to prevent burning.
• Add remaining wine/lemon mix to fennel if necessary while roasting.
• Enjoy.
