Ingredients
- 3 bulbs Fennel
- 2 boxes Cherry Tomatoes Each is 1 US Dry Pint
- 1/3 cup Olive Oil Extra Virgin
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1/2 teaspoon Freshly Grounded Black Pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375F.
Prepare the Fennel
- Cut off the top of the fennel and either discard it or use it for a soup. Cut off the bottom.
Cut it in half. Cut in quarters. Remove the core. Remove the outer leaves (these are the ones that can get hard or chewy when roasted so you want to get rid of them). Slice your fennel into 1/4 inch pieces.
Assemble to baking sheet
- Once your fennel is prepared you can spread it on the sheet pan; Add halved cherry tomatoes; Add Salt & Pepper;
- Add Olive Oil, and then place pan into the oven for about 40-45 minutes, mixing it once in a while (the roasting time may take longer or shorter so watch it to make sure that it is soft and slightly brown - it will depend on how big your fennel was and how crowded your sheet pan is).
