Method

To make the Roasted Fennel, start by washing and trimming the fennel bulbs, then cut off the base. Now cut each one into quarters and rinse them under cold water. Place them in a bowl and season them with the salt, pepper, marjoram, thyme and oil.
Now transfer everything to a baking dish and bake in a preheated convection oven at 200 °C (400 °F) for about 30 minutes, or until golden on top. Once cooked, take the fennel out of the oven and serve your Roasted Fennel piping hot. Finally, remember to download our App with exclusive content and fewer ads!
