    Roasted fennel slices are cooked in a creamy Parmesan sauce with a touch of lemon for a delicious low carb side dish for Spring. Or perk up your winter with this light and flavorful recipe.

    Tender roasted fennel is sweet in flavour and served with the light creamy lemon sauce helps enhance the flavour. I love how simple it is to make too!

    What does fennel taste like?

    For those of you who are new to fennel and are curious to the taste of this bulbous vegetable, it has a very distinctive taste. The taste is of a mild aniseed flavour when raw. When fennel is roasted, it tastes sweeter.

    Recipe Tips

    When you chop off the fennel fronds, keep them aside for decoration when the dish has baked.

    If you have any leftovers, this can be kept in the fridge for a couple of days in a sealed container. Gently reheat the dish.

    I used a vegetarian brand of Parmesan as not all cheeses are vegetarian due to the use of animal rennet in the production. Click HERE for a full list of vegetarian cheeses.

    Instead of slicing the fennel for roasting, cut the bulbs into quarters.
