Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Fennel bulbs
- 4 medium Carrots
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.5 cups Pecorino cheese
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Prepare the fennel by trimming the stalks and fronds, then cutting each bulb into wedges about 1/2 inch thick.
Peel the carrots and cut them into sticks approximately the same size as the fennel wedges to ensure even cooking.
Place the fennel and carrots in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat evenly.
Mince the garlic cloves and add them to the bowl along with the salt and black pepper. Toss again to distribute the seasonings.
Spread the vegetables in an even layer on a large baking sheet, making sure they are not overcrowded.
Roast in the preheated oven for 30–35 minutes, flipping the vegetables halfway through, until they are tender and caramelized at the edges.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and transfer the roasted vegetables to a serving platter.
While still warm, sprinkle the Pecorino cheese evenly over the vegetables so it slightly melts.
Finish the dish by garnishing with lemon zest and freshly chopped parsley for a bright, fresh flavor.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
