Best Roasted Or Grilled Vegetables With Fennel And Walnut Butter Recipes

ROASTED OR GRILLED VEGETABLES WITH FENNEL AND WALNUT BUTTER

Steps:

• Vegetables -- Mix the vegetables and fennel with the olive oil, salt and pepper and toss well.
• Bake -- on a foil lined baking or cookie sheet at 450 for 12-20 minutes until golden brown. Add to a small bowl and cover.
• Butter -- Mix the butter in a measuring cup and add the nuts and mix well. Now toss the melted butter with the roasted sprouts and fennel. Toss well to coat. Add any additional seasoning if necessary.
• Now -- clean up. Melt the butter and nuts in the bowl you use to serve the sprouts in, one less dish. Very easy simple dish. But try this with other vegetables. Also, don't be afraid to try macadamia nuts with snap peas or pecans with butternut squash. Many different combinations you can use.
• Option: Sometimes will crumble a little blue cheese or goat cheese over the top which is really good.

FENNEL-ROASTED VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
• Prepare all vegetables and place in a large bowl. Cover generously with olive oil and Fennel Spice Rub. Cover and toss well to combine.
• Heat a very large ovenproof skillet over high heat. Add 1/4 cup of the olive oil. When the oil is hot, add the carrots and cook for about 1 minute, then add the onions and cook, turning occasionally with tongs, until the vegetables are nicely browned, about 10 minutes. Reduce the heat if needed to keep them from burning.
• Add the fennel bulb, zucchini, additional Fennel Spice Rub or crushed fennel seed, and salt, to taste. Toss well to distribute the seasonings. Drizzle with the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and toss again. Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast until the vegetables are deeply caramelized, 20 to 25 minutes, stirring them occasionally so they cook evenly. Serve immediately.
• Put the fennel seeds, coriander seeds, and peppercorns in a heavy pan over medium heat. Watch carefully, tossing frequently so the seeds toast evenly. When light brown and fragrant, pour the seeds onto a plate to cool. They must be cool before grinding, or they will gum up the blades.
• Pour the seeds into a blender and add the salt. Blend to a fine powder, shaking the blender occasionally to redistribute the seeds. Store in a tightly sealed glass jar in a cool, dry place, or freeze.

THANKSGIVING ROASTED VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Cut the fennel bulbs into 6 wedges each, cutting through the core to keep the wedges intact. Place on a sheet pan. Cut the potatoes in half lengthwise and place them on the pan with the fennel. Drizzle the olive oil on the vegetables, then sprinkle with 2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper. Toss with your hands.
• Roast the vegetables for 25 to 30 minutes, until the potatoes are tender, tossing once while cooking. Toss the string beans with the roasted vegetables and roast for another 10 to 15 minutes, until the green vegetables are tender. Sprinkle on the Parmesan cheese and roast for another minute or two until the cheese melts. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and serve hot.
