    Grilled Fennel with Tahini Dressing

    Grilled fennel wedges are served with turmeric tahini dressing for an easy keto vegan appetizer or side dish, packed with flavour.

    The grilling of the fennel helps soften the anise flavour and gives a slight sweetness to the delicious vegetable.

    How to make grilled fennel wedges

    This simple fennel recipe can be made on the BBQ or on a griddle pan. I like either for the charred lines that add colour and a touch of flavour to fennel.

    The fennel bulb is cut into wedges, but you could slice the fennel into slices instead. Save some of the frond from the top of the bulb for serving.

    Best served warm, this fennel recipe is ready in 10 minutes if you make the dressing whilst the fennel is cooking.

    Carbs in Fennel

    100g of fennel has 4.9g net carbs making it a great option for keto vegetarian and vegan recipes. The size of a fennel bulb can vary. I've seen some huge one's that would feed a family and others that would make a garnish once chopped!

    On average a bulb of fennel will weigh about 230 grams (around 8 ounces).
