My easy roasted fennel recipe is sweet, caramelized, and buttery! Learn how to cook fennel with simple seasonings and some flavor options.

Ingredients

  • 2 lb Fennel bulbs
  • 3 tbsp Olive oil
  • 1 tsp Sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp Black pepper
  • 3/4 tsp Garlic powder

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (204 degrees C).

  2. 2

    Slice off the stalks of the fennel bulbs and trim the root ends. Make sure to keep the bottom of the bulb intact, so you can slice into wedges without them falling apart.

  3. 3

    Slice each fennel bulb in half lengthwise, then slice (lengthwise again) into 1/2-inch pieces.

  4. 4

    Place the fennel in a large bowl. Gently toss in olive oil, salt, pepper and garlic powder until evenly coated.

  5. 5

    Transfer to a sheet pan and spread in a single layer (without any pieces touching).

  6. 6

    Roast fennel in the oven for 30-35 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the fennel is fork tender and caramelized.
