Instructions
- Remove the stems and fronds from the fennel. Then cut off the root end and remove any tough outer layers, which are the hardest part of the fennel.
- Save some of the green part of the fennel, the fennel fronds, which you will use later with the other flavorings.
- Stand the bulb upright on its root end. Holding the bulb with one hand, cut it in half from the stem end to the root end.
- Finally, rinse them under running water to remove any remaining soil.
- Cut the fennel into wedges. Place the halved fennel on the cutting board and use a sharp knife to slice the fennel lengthwise into wedges. The wedges should be thin, about ½ cm (⅕ inch). They should be thin enough to bake in the oven for about 15 minutes, but not so thin that they burn.
- Prepare a mince with the sage leaves, the garlic clove and some green fennel fronds, which are very scented. Put the flavors in a food processor and chop finely.
- Place the fennel wedges in a large bowl. Drizzle with the extra virgin olive oil. Then add the chopped flavors, salt and ground black pepper.
- Add the grated Parmigiano cheese and the breadcrumbs, with the exception of 2 or 3 tablespoons that you will set aside.
- Using two spoons, mix well to coat all the fennel wedges with the seasoning.
- Line a fairly large baking dish with parchment paper. Place the fennel in a single layer, not overlapping.
- Drizzle with a little oil and sprinkle the surface with the tablespoons of breadcrumbs.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 200°C (390°F) for about 15 minutes, until golden brown.
- For a crispier result, you can finish cooking with 2 minutes in grill mode.
- Roasted Fennel with Parmigiano cheese is ready! You can enjoy them hot or cold, as an appetizer or as a side dish with meat or fish courses.
