Ingredients

2 medium fennel bulbs

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or nonstick aluminum foil.
Remove stems and core from fennel bulbs. Reserve a handful of fronds. Dice fennel into bite-sized pieces. Toss fennel and fronds with Parmesan cheese, oil, salt, and pepper. Spread in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Roast in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Turn fennel with a spatula and roast until crisp-tender and browned on both sides, 5 to 10 more minutes.
