Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon ground thyme
• 3 tablespoons white balsamic vinegar
• 2 medium fennel bulbs
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 0.75 teaspoon salt

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Trim stalks off the fennel, setting green fronds to the side to later use for garnish, if desired. Trim root ends to create a flat surface; there is no need to remove the core. Slice fennel into 1/4- to 1/3-inch slices and place on the baking sheet.

Step 3

Whisk olive oil, vinegar, garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper together in a small bowl; brush mixture over fennel slices.

Step 4

Roast in the preheated oven until fennel is soft and caramelized, 25 to 30 minutes, turning slices over halfway through. Transfer to a serving platter and garnish with green fronds, if desired.
