Oven Braised Fennel with Orange and Parmesan

Oven Braised Fennel with Orange and Parmesan

If you’re on the fence about fennel because of its reputation for a black licorice-like flavor, you’re not alone—I used to feel the same! But fennel has surprised me, becoming one of my favorite vegetables.

When used fresh, it’s crisp and refreshing in salads, but the magic happens when it’s braised, roasted, or baked. The flavor transforms into something rich, mellow, and slightly sweet. This recipe is my go-to way to bring out fennel’s best qualities, combining the subtle citrus of orange with the umami depth of Parmesan.
