Ingredients

  • 2 medium fennel bulbs
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons white balsamic vinegar
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ground thyme
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Trim the stalks off the fennel, setting the green fronds to the side to later use for garnish, if desired. Trim the 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.
  • Whisk together olive oil, vinegar, garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Brush over the fennel slices.
  • Roast in the preheated oven until fennel is soft and caramelized, 25 to 30 minutes, turning slices over halfway through. Remove to a serving platter and garnish with green fronds, if desired.
