Preparation:
To cook:
Level: Easy
Ingredients
- 2 bulbs (large) fennel
- ¼ cups Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- ½ teaspoon Kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoons Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 Large sliced grapefruit
Preparation
Preheat the oven to 400ºF.
Remove the stems from the fennel and cut the bulb in half lengthwise. With the cut side down, slice the bulb vertically into 1/2-inch-thick slices, cutting through the core. Spread the fennel slices on a baking sheet, coat them with olive oil, paprika, salt and pepper and mix with your hands.
Set 1-2 grapefruit slices aside and reserve for later. Add the remaining slices to the baking sheet.
Roast the fennel slices for about 1 hour, turning once after 30 minutes, until the edges are crispy and golden brown. During the last 10 minutes of cooking, squeeze the reserved grapefruit juice over the fennel.
Remove from oven and cover. Taste the salt and pepper and serve.
