Ingredients

4 tablespoons olive oil
4 fennel bulbs, cut horizontally into 1/3-inch thick slices, fronds reserved
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/3 cup freshly shredded Parmesan

Directions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

Lightly oil the bottom of a 13 by 9 by 2-inch glass baking dish. Arrange the fennel in the dish. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, then with the Parmesan. Drizzle with the oil. Bake until the fennel is fork-tender and the top is golden brown, about 45 minutes. Chop enough fennel fronds to equal 2 teaspoons, then sprinkle over the roasted fennel and serve.

Who Knew Fennel Could Taste This Good!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I followed the recipe exactly and was pleasantly surprised at the results! The fennel was so tender and sweet. It looks... really pretty as an appetizer on a decorative plate. I'll definitely make this again!Read more

Wow!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

So simple, so delicious. The colour that comes out of the fennel from the slow roasting process is stunning. My husband still... could not eat it, I told him if he did not like this recipe he will never like fennel. I am not a huge fan of fennel but this was fantastic. Thank you Giada! ~ Suzie the FoodieRead more

Tasty and easy
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

If you don't think you like fennel, try this. The toasted parmesan flavor compliments the fennel (which loses some of its... anise flavor in the cooking process) beautifully! My husband and I hate the whole batch. Read more

This is so great alone, but I added asparagus and the flavor mingling was delicious. I love the food channel, I think i... have always known how to cook well, but these recipes take you to another level. Keep em coming...Read more

Absolutely Delicious
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I bought some fennel on a whim because I remembered seeing Giada fix this and thought it looked promising. It was... great--ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS! And it could not have been easier. This one is going in my personal recipe book -- in ink! Even my 16-year old son who hates veggies liked it. This is definitely going to become a family staple. Two thumbs up.Read more
