Once I discovered Roasted Carrots & Green Beans I knew right away I was going to start loving vegetables again. I’m not the type of person to claim to love vegetables, but I know how good they are for you so I find ways to get them into my diet. One way is to add them to my morning shakes, something I have every morning to help fuel my day. However since I started to roast my vegetables, I am now a HUGE fan. If you have never Roasted Fennel then you are going to be shocked at how delicious it is, not to mention fragrant. Fennel wasn’t something I grew up eating or ever came across at the restaurants. So it was another foreign food to me, but since I am in the business of food blogging I’ve made it a goal to cook just about every type of healthy food possible to share with my readers. Well there are some things I will not try, but I’ll just leave it at that. If you’re not a huge vegetable fan, I encourage you to give this recipe a go. It’s now a favorite in our house, and is a nice alternative to the regulars.
In the Kitchen:
To make the Baked Fennel and Cheese:
- Start by washing off your fennel, and then place it on a large cutting board.
- Cut off the stalks and place them in a jar covering the stalks in water “these can be left in your fridge to use in any dishes that call for “celery” try something new.
- Cut the leftover Bulb in half and then in half again, creating four pieces.
- Place in the bottom of your baking dish and drizzle with olive oil and salt and pepper.
- Grate cheese over top with a fine cheese gator and bake in the oven at 450F for 30 minutes or until tender and slightly browned.
- Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve as a side dish next to your main dish.
- Enjoy!
Cut off the stalks then half the fennel once, then twice to form four pieces for baking.
Season with olive oil and salt and pepper before grating cheese overtop.
Note: This fennel side dish goes great with almost any fish or chicken dish.
