Roasted Fennel

This roasted fennel dish is gentle, aromatic, and built around letting natural flavors deepen in the oven. As the fennel roasts, it softens and becomes lightly sweet, losing any sharpness. Garlic adds warmth and depth while staying mellow and rounded. Fresh dill at the end brings brightness and balance. It’s a calm, unfussy dish that fits easily alongside everyday meals. Simple ingredients, steady heat, and a clean finish.
