Easy Roasted Fennel
with Apple and Red Onion
Make my delicious sheet pan roasted fennel, when you want an easy side dish that is just a little bit out of the ordinary.
I love it, when I find a pretty fennel bulb at the farmers market or grocery store.
The leaves and the bulb taste delicious, so I can usually use it for two different dishes.
This recipe combines three very different flavors – fennel, apple and red onion.
They are seasoned and then roasted to bring out their natural sweetness.
Firm apples are best for roasting and any type will do.
I typically choose red onions, but a sweet Maui onion is good, too.
This dish makes a lovely side dish or it can be incorporated into a Buddha bowl for a vegan lunch or dinner.
Enjoy!
