    Just before Christmas, I asked the world of Facebook which roasted veg recipe I should share with you next.
    Fennel won the day, so I am sharing my roasted fennel with parmesan, black pepper and chives.

    This is a great side dish as it really goes with pretty much any meat/fish and it takes care of itself cooking in the oven. Probably not the greatest dish for Western Australia today where temperatures are up at 38ºC. But I cooked this back in Spring, when the weather was a bit temperamental, it has just taken me a while to share it with you....no idea why!!!

    Fennel is a really underused vegetable, it is often marked down in the supermarket, which suggests it isn't as popular as say carrots or broccoli. But it is delicious!!! I think people are put off by the idea of liquorice or aniseed, but when roasted the fennel becomes sweet and mellow and quite amazing. Please buy some 🙂

    The recipe is simple, a bit of seasoning, a bake in the oven and some grated parmesan, a little more baking and a garnish with the fennel fronds and some fresh chives.
    Simple, elegant and delightful...(bit like me 😉 )

    I like to serve this with a perfectly cooked steak and some soft creamy double butter mashed potato (recipe coming soon!). It is a wonderful and pretty simple meal to prepare, but it just all works so fabulously together. Add a green side salad and you have a great date night dinner. Add an appetiser and you have an easy entertaining dinner!

      I had 1 fennel bulb, which was enough for the two of us. I enjoyed it fully.

        Thank you Jean, So pleased you enjoyed it.
        Fennel is such an under used vegetable isn't it.

      I loooove fennel! I even eat it raw in salads often too. 🙂 I made this tonight to go with a roast, and it was delicious! The parmesan was a nice touch too. Thank you!

      Thanks Claire! I have never cooked fennel , and found your recipe on Pinterest. It just came out of the oven, and it is delicious! I didn't have parmesan cheese on hand, so I used some gruyere. So good! I'll definitely be making this super simple recipe again. 🙂

        OH thank you Christine. 😀
        Fennel always seems to be a bit of a forgotten veg, I am so happy you loved it 😀

        p.s if you enjoyed this dish try adding roasted fennel to pasta, this is my recipe and it is so good 😀
