Ingredients

  • 3 medium/large fennel (cleaned and sliced)
  • 3 tablespoons freshly grated Parmigiano cheese
  • 1½ tablespoon bread crumbs
  • ¼-½ teaspoon salt
  • 1-2 dashes pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon oregano
EXTRAS
  • 2-4 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh Italian Parsley (optional)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Pre-heat oven to 400°F (200°C), lightly grease a medium baking dish.
  2. Clean the fennel by cutting off the stalks, then cut the bulb in half lengthwise.  Remove the hard core in the middle, then cut thin slices. I used medium sized fennel and cut each quarter in four. If you prefer you can leave the pieces larger by just cutting the quarters in half.
  3. In a small bowl mix together the parmesan cheese, bread crumbs, salt, pepper and oregano.
  4. Line the slices in the prepared baking pan and sprinkle with the parmesan mixture. Drizzle with a tablespoon or two of olive oil and bake for approximately 20 minutes or until the fennel is tender.  Top with freshly chopped parsley before serving immediately. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge. It will last for up to 2-3 days. Re-heat in a microwave or in the oven.
