The sweetness of the fennel, the freshness of the tomatoes, and the addition of olives give this dish a delicate and flavorful taste. To add an extra touch, I added breadcrumbs for a crunchy note that makes this side dish even more inviting.
Easy to prepare with simple and genuine ingredients, just wash the fennel well, cut them into thick slices, and season them in a bowl with cherry tomatoes, extra virgin olive oil, salt, pitted olives, and breadcrumbs. Then, mix everything with a wooden spoon and bake.

Steps to prepare baked gratinated fennel
First, clean the fennel, remove the outer leaves, core, and part of the stalk. Rinse under running water and then pat dry with a kitchen towel.
Cut the fennel in half and then into slices that are not too thin to prevent them from breaking during cooking.
Take a large bowl, add the sliced fennel and season with extra virgin olive oil and pitted olives.
Add salt and the washed and halved cherry tomatoes.
Add the breadcrumbs and mix everything.
Arrange the fennel in a baking dish with olive oil.
Bake in a preheated oven at 356°F for 20 minutes, until the fennel is golden and crispy.
Delicious to eat both hot and cold!
