Bring out the best of fennel with this Mediterranean Diet recipe, which is both savory and fulfilling. This can be served as a main meal or side dish. For the most simple meal, just add some crusty bread and serve with a glass of white wine. Also, goes well with most fish and chicken dishes. Enjoy!

This is delicious. I thought I’d sliced the fennel too thinly, as it got very brown in the oven, but the flavor and texture were wonderful.
Im loving every recipe i try!
