Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 fennel bulbs cut horizontally
• into 1/3"-thick slices, fronds reserved

• 1/3 cup freshly-shredded Parmesan

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.

Lightly oil the bottom of a 13- by 9- by 2-inch glass baking dish. Arrange the fennel in the dish. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, then with the Parmesan. Drizzle with the oil.

Bake until the fennel is fork-tender and the top is golden brown, about 45 minutes. Chop enough fennel fronds to equal 2 teaspoons, then sprinkle over the roasted fennel and serve.
