Grilled fennel is a flavorful and nutritious dish that showcases the natural sweetness of fennel bulbs when caramelized over heat. Native to Mediterranean cuisine, fennel has been cherished for centuries for its aromatic qualities and health benefits. This vegetable contains a wealth of vitamins, such as vitamin C, potassium, and fiber, making it excellent for supporting digestion, heart health, and immune function. The grilling process softens the fennel’s robust texture while enhancing its licorice-like taste, often complemented with olive oil, herbs, or lemon for added zest. Low in calories and free from saturated fats, grilled fennel is a heart-healthy choice. It’s versatile and pairs well with fish, poultry, or as a standalone side dish. However, oil or salt used during preparation may increase calorie or sodium content, so moderation is key. Enjoy grilled fennel for a delicious and nutrient-packed addition to your meal!
