Ingredients
- 2 whole fennel bulbs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 whole lemon
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Trim the fennel bulbs by cutting off the stalks and a small portion of the base, then slice the bulbs into 1/4-inch thick pieces.
Step 3
Place the sliced fennel in a large mixing bowl, and drizzle with olive oil.
Step 4
Season the fennel with salt and black pepper, then toss to ensure each piece is well-coated with oil and seasoning.
Step 5
Spread the fennel slices evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, making sure they are in a single layer for even roasting.
Step 6
Roast in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the fennel is tender and edges are golden brown, tossing halfway through the cooking time for even roasting.
Step 7
While the fennel is roasting, finely chop the fresh parsley and set aside.
Step 8
After removing the fennel from the oven, squeeze the juice of half a lemon over the roasted fennel and sprinkle with chopped parsley.
Step 9
Transfer to a serving platter and serve warm.
