Roasted Fennel With Parmesan - Giada De Laurentiis

"This simple and flavorful recipe was featured on "Everyday Italian" by Giada De Laurentiis. Goes well with other roasted dishes for dinner such as pork and balsamic pears. The saltiness of the Parmesan goes wonderfully with the sweet, mellow flavor of the roasted fennel."

directions

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Clean and cut the fennel bulbs: cut them horizontally into 1/3 inch thick slices and reserve the fronds.
  • Take the reserved fennel fronds and chop enough of them to make 2 teaspoons; set aside.
  • Spray the bottom of a 13 by 9 by 2-inch glass baking dish with olive oil.
  • Lay the fennel slices in the dish, making sure that all the pieces are touching the bottom so that they roast rather than steam when they're cooking.
  • Sprinkle with the salt and pepper, then with the Parmesan.
  • Drizzle with the olive oil and bake for 45 minutes at 375 degrees F, until the fennel is tender and the Parmesan is golden brown.
  • Transfer roasted fennel to serving platter, sprinkle with the 2 teaspoons chopped reserved fennel fronds, and serve.

  1. Very easy recipe! I was weary of the fennel that arrived in my weekly veggie basket because I hate licorice/anise flavors. But this recipe mixed it well with the parmesan so that it wasn't too strong. I think next time I'll try roasting carrots and potatoes with the fennel to mix the flavor a bit more, but as easy and nice as this was I'll definitely make it again.
     
  2. I have had fennel seeds, but never fresh fennel... I'm in love, great recipe! Thanks :)
     
  3. Loved this roasted fennel. I made roasted chicken breasts, fingerling potatoes and garlic with the fennel. What a great meal.
     
  4. This was our first time ever tasting fennel and we really enjoyed it. It is nice to have a new vegetable to add to the usual rotation. Thx.
     
  5. fabulous dish that is easy to make and has a very sophisticated taste! I sometimes put a little minced garlic or garlic powder on mine before roasting. Thank you for posting Julesong!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

<p>It's simply this: I love to cook! :) <br /><br />I've been hanging out on the internet since the early days and have collected loads of recipes. I've tried to keep the best of them (and often the more unusual) and look forward to sharing them with you, here. <br /><br />I am proud to say that I have several family members who are also on RecipeZaar! <br /><br />My husband, here as <a href=http://www.recipezaar.com/member/39857>Steingrim</a>, is an excellent cook. He rarely uses recipes, though, so often after he's made dinner I sit down at the computer and talk him through how he made the dishes so that I can get it down on paper. Some of these recipes are in his account, some of them in mine - he rarely uses his account, though, so we'll probably usually post them to mine in the future. <br /><br />My sister <a href=http://www.recipezaar.com/member/65957>Cathy is here as cxstitcher</a> and <a href=http://www.recipezaar.com/member/62727>my mom is Juliesmom</a> - say hi to them, eh? <br /><br />Our <a href=http://www.recipezaar.com/member/379862>friend Darrell is here as Uncle Dobo</a>, too! I've been typing in his recipes for him and entering them on R'Zaar. We're hoping that his sisters will soon show up with their own accounts, as well. :) <br /><br />I collect cookbooks (to slow myself down I've limited myself to purchasing them at thrift stores, although I occasionally buy an especially good one at full price), and - yes, I admit it - I love FoodTV. My favorite chefs on the Food Network are Alton Brown, Rachel Ray, Mario Batali, and Giada De Laurentiis. I'm not fond over fakey, over-enthusiastic performance chefs... Emeril drives me up the wall. I appreciate honesty. Of non-celebrity chefs, I've gotta say that that the greatest influences on my cooking have been my mother, Julia Child, and my cooking instructor Chef Gabriel Claycamp at Seattle's Culinary Communion. <br /><br />In the last couple of years I've been typing up all the recipes my grandparents and my mother collected over the years, and am posting them here. Some of them are quite nostalgic and are higher in fat and processed ingredients than recipes I normally collect, but it's really neat to see the different kinds of foods they were interested in... to see them either typewritten oh-so-carefully by my grandfather, in my grandmother's spidery handwriting, or - in some cases - written by my mother years ago in fountain pen ink. It's like time travel. <br /><br />Cooking peeve: food/cooking snobbery. <br /><br />Regarding my black and white icon (which may or may not be the one I'm currently using): it the sea-dragon tattoo that is on the inside of my right ankle. It's also my personal logo.</p>
