Roasted Fennel & Orange Salad

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 450°F. Wash the fennel. Cut off the stem & leaves. Thinly slice the rest of the bulb.

Step 2

In a baking dish, combine the fennel, a drizzle of olive oil, salt & pepper. Mix to coat.

Step 3

Cover with aluminum foil. Bake for 20 min at 450°F.

Step 4

Squeeze the juice from half the orange into a small bowl. Set it aside.

Step 5

Peel the rind & remove the white pith from the rest of the orange. Cut it into segments, then half-segments.

Step 6

Remove the fennel from the oven. Let it come to room temperature or a little warmer.

Step 7

Plate the fennel, topped with crumbled feta, orange slices & torn mint leaves (optional). Pour the reserved orange juice over top. Add a drizzle of oil. Season with salt & pepper. Enjoy!
