Roasted Fennel


AllyB

Recommended Posts

I've been having a fennel craving lately (anyone else crave fennel?)  So I bought some and my dear hubby roasted it up for a side dish last night.  He also added some carrots, making it ever better.

 

Slice the fennel into 1/2 strips and slice the carrots lengthwise into 1/4s (like you might if you were going use them for dipping.)  

Toss in melted coconut oil and sprinkle with salt.

Lay them out on a cookie sheet lined with tin foil.

Put in a 425 degree oven for 20-25 minutes.  Turn them halfway through to get even browning.

 

They come out caramelly and salty!  Delicious!

YUM! 

 

Here's my go-to fennel dish:

 

Finely slice bulb of fennel

Finely slice sweet onion into half moons

Finely slice granny smith apple into half moons

Sautee all in compliant fat (I use lard) with fresh thyme and lots of S&P until limp and starting to brown.  Like a hot slaw, so delicious!

 

I save my fennel tops in the freezer for bone broth, btw.

 

I'm going to try your post above, never thought to roast it!

Oh I am so psyched to try this too. I just bought fennel the other day and needed to use it. Looked up on Mark Bittman's "How to Cook Everything" the following:

 

Slice Fennel

Cover in stock

Braise in the oven at 375 for 45 min (or as long as you need)

 

You can also sprinkle with fresh parsley. Delish!! And a really beautiful presentation if you need to impress anyone also.

One of my favorite dishes of all time is to roast a chicken (spatchcocked or not) atop a bed of sliced fennel, garlic cloves, and slices of whole lemon. The lemon garlic fennel mixture along with the chicken juices and bits becomes a roasty toasty textured savory jam. Absolutely divine.

I happen to have a whole chicken, 2 lemons, some garlic and a HUGE bulb of fennel and I *need* to make this. What temp, how long, do you put anything on the chicken itself (ie, rub in fat, S&P?)

If you use home made stock/bone broth and do this try cooking it till all the stock has reduced to a sticky, gooey consistency. I did this by accident when I cooked it too long and it was incredibly delicious.

How to Prepare:

Saute jicama cubes, celery

slices and green pepper

pieces (and

onion/garlic if desired) in

butter til tender; remove

from pan

 

 

Just to point out, this says saute in butter -- obviously, butter is not allowed on Whole30, so you would need to substitute ghee or coconut oil or other compliant fat.
