THE BEST ROASTED FENNEL



The Best Roasted Fennel image

Fennel sometimes plays second fiddle to other vegetables, but it is the true star in this simple but impressive side dish. Roasting the fennel until tender and almost creamy mellows its usual licorice flavor and brings out a touch of natural sweetness. Even if you don't normally like fennel, give this delicious dish a try. You might be surprised.

Categories     side-dish

Time 55m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 large bulbs fennel (about 2 pounds, with 2 inches of tops intact)
4 sprigs thyme
2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced (about 1 tablespoon)
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
Kosher salt
1 small lemon, cut into wedges, for serving

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.

OVEN-ROASTED FENNEL



Oven-Roasted Fennel image

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.

Provided by France C

Categories     Roasted Vegetables

Time 40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

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

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.

25 BEST FENNEL RECIPES - INSANELY GOOD

Published 2022-01-18
Category Recipe Roundup
  • Fennel Gratin (Finoccio al Forno) As mentioned, fennel can take on a quite strong anise flavor, which is more pronounced if you eat it raw. One way to balance that flavor is to cook it in oodles of cream and cheese.
  • Roasted Fennel with Garlic & Herbs. If you’re looking for a relatively low-carb option for your next dinner, why not try this heavenly roasted fennel dish?
  • Roasted Fennel Pomodoro Recipe. When thinking of roasted veggies, I’m sure most people think of potatoes with carrots and maybe squash. But it doesn’t have to be so heavy!
  • Caramelized Fennel and Onions. Caramelized onions are lovely on everything from burgers to pasta, and though they’ll take a little time to make, it’s more than worth it in the end.
  • Pasta with Fennel, Kale, and Lemon. A common misconception about vegetarian and vegan food is that it’s boring. But when you add bright flavors like fennel and lemon to the mix, you won’t miss the meat one bit.
  • Rigatoni with Sausage & Fennel. If you’ve ever tried Italian sausage and wondered what makes it so unique, you might be surprised to hear that it’s fennel!
  • Roasted Carrot & Fennel Soup. When making soups or stews, I always suggest that you start by roasting the veggies. Yes, they’ll cook in the pot, but roasting them first will add a depth of flavor you won’t believe.
  • Spinach Fennel Pizza. I’ve yet to find a pizza topping I don’t like, and I have to say that fennel makes such a great addition to this classic tomato and cheese combination.
  • Homemade Italian Sausage. As mentioned, fennel is one of the key ingredients in Italian sausage, and it’s the reason this flavor is so unique. You’ll use fennel seeds here, which will be extra fragrant if you take the time to toast them first.
  • Crispy Lemon & Herb Chicken with Fennel. This lemon and herb chicken recipe is so bright and juicy that it deserves a side dish that can hold its own.
