Oven-Baked Fennel Gratin

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Thoroughly clean the fennel bulbs, rinse them, and slice them into evenly thick pieces, taking care not to cut them too thick.
  2. Arrange the slices in a radial pattern in a baking dish lightly greased with olive oil. Drizzle with a little more olive oil and add a pinch of salt.
  3. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) on the middle rack for about 20 minutes.
  4. Remove from the oven and top with the breadcrumbs (previously mixed with the finely chopped herbs), another pinch of salt, and a generous drizzle of olive oil.
  5. Return to the oven for about 15 minutes. For the final 5 minutes, switch to the broiler/grill, increase the temperature to 200°C (400°F), and move the dish to the upper rack to brown nicely. Serve hot and enjoy!
