Steps for Preparing Oven Glazed Fennel
To prepare the oven glazed fennel, take a bowl and create an emulsion of extra virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, and fine salt. Mix with a fork to blend all the ingredients.
Remove the tougher and damaged outer leaves of the fennel, wash them under running water, and cut them first in half and then into thirds; they should be quite thick but not too much.
Place them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper and season them by brushing them with the emulsion. Bake in a static oven at 356°F for about 20-25 minutes, in an air fryer at 356°F for 8-10 minutes until they become soft.
Once cooking is complete, you can optionally add the chopped walnuts and the tender fennel leaves. You can serve them either hot or at room temperature, and enjoy!
Storing Oven Glazed Fennel
Oven glazed fennel can be stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days.
I do not recommend freezing them, as the texture will tend to become mushy.
