Ingredients
  • 4 medium size fennels(each ~300 g)
  • 50g of chopped almonds
  • 3tablespoons of breadcrumbs
  • 2tablespoons of chopped fresh parsley
  • 5tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
  • spices of your choice(I used a mix of different types of peppers + salt)
Instructions
  1. heat the oven to 200°C/390°F;
  2. clean the fennel and, if the stalks are still attached to the bulb, cut them off (you can freeze the stalks together with other vegetable scraps and use them to prepare a homemade vegetable broth);
  3. with a sharp knife cut the fennel bulb vertically in equally thin slices (around 0,5 – 0,7 cm/0.2 – 0.3”), then put the slices in a big bowl;
  4. in a tiny container mix together chopped almonds, breadcrumbs, spices and chopped parsley;
  5. pour oil over the fennel slices, add the dry ingredients and mix everything carefully together (you can also do it with your hands) until every fennel slice is coated with the dry ingredients;
  6. line a baking tray with parchment paper and transfer the coated fennel slices to the baking tray;
  7. sprinkle all over the fennel slices the remaining almond – breadcrumb mixture that will be left at the bottom of the bowl. If the fennel slices seem too dry to you, drizzle all over them some extra olive oil;
  8. place the baking tray in the preheated oven and bake for about 20 minutes or until the fennel slices turn soft and golden.
