Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  2. 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.

I plan to make it but want to point out that she is chopping the bulb vertically, not horizontally, in this video. The picture also shows the slices done vertically. If it were being sliced horizontally, it would be across the bulb. (I have other recipes that discuss this difference, so I'm not just being ornery here.) Otherwise, this seems to be a delicious and simple approach to this lovely vegetable.

I had never tasted (to my knowledge) fennel & wanted to start incorporating it into dishes. I will use some of the notes from Nov 13, 2013 posted for a different twist next time.

I sliced the fennel root keeping it mostly intact. Preheat oven 375
In a large bowl, add 3-4 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp salt, freshly ground pepper, to taste and I large clove garlic, minced, mix that up then add the fennel, make sure that one side of the sliced fennel, place carefully to a parchment lined sheet pan, bake at 375 until it gets slightly colored-about 10 min, top each slice fennel with grated Parmesan cheese replace in oven for another 5-8 minutes, remove cool on pan. Can be eaten hot or cold, if there’s any left, add to a sandwich, or on top of a piece of baked salmon…yum match made in heaven!

Maybe because fennel is high in fiber🤷🏻‍♀️

Delicious and easy! I had a fennel I needed to use, and so took a gamble with this recipe. It took only a few minutes to prep, and tasted delicious when completed. I’ll make this again soon.

Added cherry tomatoes as well and brought a nice pop of flavor

That's funny. I was also thinking about adding a sliced beet to the pan.
