How to Prepare Cheesy Fennel in Air Fryer
First, boil a pot of salted water, then handle the fennel. Remove the ends, cut them in half, and divide each half into 3 or 4 pieces, depending on the size of the fennel. Wash them under running water, cook them in the pot for 5 minutes, then drain.
Line a baking tray with parchment paper and spread a third of the grated cheese on the bottom, then add the fennel wedges.
Add some chopped parsley (I used dried), a sprinkle of pepper, and finish with the rest of the grated cheese.
Cook in the air fryer at 356°F (180°C) for 13 minutes or in the oven at 374°F (190°C) for about 20 minutes. When a light crust forms, the fennel will be ready. Serve immediately.

FAQ (Questions and Answers)
Can I change the type of cheese?
Of course, you can use the cheeses you prefer. For a stringy effect, I recommend pizza mozzarella.
