• Drizzle each sheet with oil and toss with oregano, salt, and pepper, to taste.

THE BEST ROASTED FENNEL

Steps:

• Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 475 degrees F.
• Pick 2 tablespoons of the tender green fronds from the tops of the fennel bulbs and set aside. Cut the remaining top and bottom from each fennel bulb, then cut the bulb in half lengthwise through the core. Use the tip of the knife to cut an upside-down "V" on the bottom of each bulb to remove most of the core, leaving just enough so the bulb stays intact. Cut each half through the core into wedges, about 1/4 inch thick.
• Add the fennel bulb, thyme, garlic, olive oil, red pepper flakes and 3/4 teaspoon salt to a large bowl and toss until evenly coated. Transfer to a rimmed baking sheet.
• Roast in the oven until the fennel is very tender and lightly browned in spots, 30 to 35 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter, top with the reserved fennel fronds and serve with the lemon wedges.

FARRO SALAD WITH CORN AND CRISPY CHICKPEAS

Steps:

• Start the chickpeas: Spread drained chickpeas on a rimmed sheet pan lined with a clean dish towel or a double layer of paper towels. Let air-dry for at least 30 minutes while you cook the farro.
• Prepare the farro: Bring a medium pot of well-salted water to a boil. Add farro and bay leaf. Cook until tender, 20 to 30 minutes. Drain well, discarding bay leaf. Put farro in a bowl and, while still warm, stir in 5 tablespoons of the olive oil, the vinegar, 3/4 teaspoon salt and the coriander. Let farro cool to room temperature.
• Heat oven to 425 degrees. While the farro cools, roast the crispy chickpeas and the corn in the same oven.
• For the chickpeas, remove towels from the baking sheet and toss chickpeas with olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt and spices until well coated. Roast, tossing halfway through, until golden and crispy, about 25 minutes. Transfer pan to a wire rack to cool.
• In a mixing bowl, lightly drizzle kernels with remaining 1/2 tablespoon olive oil and 1/4 teaspoon salt, and toss to coat. Spread corn in a single even layer on a rimmed sheet pan. Roast, tossing halfway through roasting, until golden brown and fragrant, about 20 minutes.
• Add corn to farro mixture, along with the scallions, fennel and herbs, tossing to combine. Taste, and add more salt and/or vinegar if needed. Just before serving, fold in crispy chickpeas so they remain crunchy. Top with another drizzle of olive oil and flaky sea salt.

ROASTED FENNEL WITH PARMESAN - GIADA DE LAURENTIIS

• 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.

WARM CHICKPEA, FENNEL & PEPPER SALAD

Steps:

• For the dressing, pour the vinegar into a small jug, season with salt and pepper, then whisk in the oil. Leave to one side.
• Perch the peppers over 1 or 2 gas burners (or put them under a hot grill) and blacken them, turning all the time to expose the red skin to the naked heat. When completely charred, tuck them into a plastic bag and leave for 10 minutes. Scrape off the blistered skin, seed and cut the flesh into medium dice. Set aside.
• Heat the oil in a large non-stick fryingpan over a medium heat and tip in the onion and shallot. Fry for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently. Add the garlic, fennel, rosemary and bay leaf. Fry for 5-6 minutes, stirring frequently, without letting the vegetables colour.
• Pour 200ml/7fl oz boiling water into a heatproof measuring jug and whisk in the bouillon powder. Pour into the frying pan, tip in the chickpeas and stir. Bubble vigorously for about 5 minutes or until the juices have nearly disappeared. Remove from the heat and cool for a few minutes.
• Scrape the contents of the frying pan into a large mixing bowl, then throw in the peppers, lemon zest and parsley. Pour in the dressing and toss gently but thoroughly. Taste and adjust the seasoning. Serve warm or at room temperature.
