What are the best tips for cooking fennel?

Roasting mellows the anise flavor into sweet caramelization. Save the fronds for garnish. Pairs beautifully with citrus and parmesan.

How do you roast fennel?

Roast at 38–26 min. Wedges or thick slices. Cut side down for browning.

Braise at 45–38 min. White wine and broth. Meltingly tender.

Grill at 4–5 min/side. Thick slices. Oil well. Beautiful char.

Sauté at 8–12 min. Thinly sliced. Caramelizes beautifully.
