Ingredients
- 2 large fennel bulbs
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Trim the fennel bulbs by cutting off the stalks and a small portion of the base. Slice each bulb vertically into 1/2-inch thick slices.
Step 3
Place the fennel slices on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are spread out evenly.
Step 4
Drizzle the olive oil over the fennel slices, then sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and fresh thyme leaves.
Step 5
Use your hands or a spatula to gently toss the fennel, making sure each slice is well coated with the oil and seasonings.
Step 6
Roast in the preheated oven for 35 minutes, or until the fennel is tender and the edges are caramelized, stirring halfway through the cooking time for even roasting.
Step 7
Remove from the oven, drizzle with lemon juice, and serve hot as a flavorful side dish.
