Ingredients
- 2 large Fennel bulbs
- 4 medium Carrots
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.5 cups Pecorino cheese
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Prepare the fennel by trimming the stalks and fronds, then cutting each bulb into wedges about 1/2 inch thick.
Step 3
Peel the carrots and cut them into sticks approximately the same size as the fennel wedges to ensure even cooking.
Step 4
Place the fennel and carrots in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat evenly.
Step 5
Mince the garlic cloves and add them to the bowl along with the salt and black pepper. Toss again to distribute the seasonings.
Step 6
Spread the vegetables in an even layer on a large baking sheet, making sure they are not overcrowded.
Step 7
Roast in the preheated oven for 30–35 minutes, flipping the vegetables halfway through, until they are tender and caramelized at the edges.
Step 8
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and transfer the roasted vegetables to a serving platter.
Step 9
While still warm, sprinkle the Pecorino cheese evenly over the vegetables so it slightly melts.
Step 10
Finish the dish by garnishing with lemon zest and freshly chopped parsley for a bright, fresh flavor.
Step 11
Serve immediately and enjoy!
