Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

Nonstick vegetable oil spray
4 small (3-inch-diameter) fennel bulbs, trimmed, each cut vertically into 8 wedges with core attached to each wedge
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
6 large garlic cloves, coarsely crushed
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
1/8 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper
Coarse kosher salt
1/2 cup halved pitted Kalamata olives

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425°F. Spray large rimmed baking sheet with nonstick spray. Combine fennel, olive oil, garlic, thyme, and crushed red pepper in large bowl; toss to coat. Spread fennel out on baking sheet; sprinkle with coarse kosher salt and pepper. Roast fennel 15 minutes. Using tongs, turn wedges over. Continue to roast until tender, turning 1 more time, about 20 minutes. Sprinkle olives over fennel. Roast until fennel begins to brown at edges, about 8 minutes longer. Season fennel with salt and pepper. Transfer to bowl and serve. DO AHEAD: Can be made 2 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature.
  • Serve warm or at room temperature.

This roasted fennel recipe is a winner! The fennel was caramelized and tender, the olives added a briny pop, and the garlic was fragrant and flavorful. I served it as a side dish with grilled chicken and it was a perfect complement.
