   Preheat oven to 425°F.

3. 3
   Once oven is heated, place fennel on a baking sheet and spread it out. Roast for about 25 minutes or until fennel is nicely roasted and caramelized. Remove and serve.

   The end result is a nice and tender piece of fennel that is somewhat sweet, with a mild licorice flavor.
