Roasted fennel with tomato and olives, easy and flavourful way to enjoy this summer vegetable.
I got a fennel bulb a couple of weeks ago in my Lekkernassuh box, never had fennel before so it was perfect to test a new recipe. I decided to keep it simple roasting it in the over but adding a nice dressing. Could not be happier with the result. Roasted and caramelized fennel with fresh tomato and olive dressing.
The perfect way to enjoy fennel.
