Photo: Roasted Root Jumble with Feta Cheese Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1 1/2 tablespoons ground coriander
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 large fennel bulb, cut into 1/2-inch wedges
- 1 large red onion, cut into 1/2-inch wedges
- 1 large lemon, cut into 1/2-inch slices
- 2 large carrots, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch rounds
- 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- Minced fresh cilantro or parsley, to garnish
Directions
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
In a small bowl, whisk together the ground cumin, ground coriander, and olive oil. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt and a generous grinding of black pepper.
Lay the fennel, red onions, lemons, and carrots in a baking dish. Pour the spiced oil over the vegetables and toss to coat. Bake for 30 minutes. Sprinkle feta cheese over the top and bake until the vegetables are caramelized and soft, another 15 minutes.
Cook's Note: I serve this over a simple soft polenta. Delicious and hearty!

This was really an incredible dish! I must say I didn't follow the veggie list much, but the real winner is the cumin/coriander oil! That is an intoxicating mix. I used sweet potatoes, fennel, lemons and goat cheese. I was worried how the sweet potatoes would work with the spices and fennel, but considering they are similar in flavor to carrots I thought it was worth a shot. I was right, that was my favorite part! Next time I will only use a few slices of the lemon, or squeeze lemon juice over it at the end, or even use meyer lemons instead. I have a pretty exotic palate, but I still thought the lemons were way too bitter. This cumin/coriander blend will knock even the socks of the pickiest eater.

I really didn't care for it. The fennel did taste good but I don't think I was a fan of the seasoning. I LOVE the Indian soup from this recipe - I make that quite often.

Absolutely the best. A wonderful way to introduce fennel to people. The lemon is inspired! And so very very easy. Will make this again and again!
