Fennel is one of my favorite side dishes especially when paired with lemon. This low-carb side dish is perfect for large family dinners, holidays, and to have on hand through the week. I even add this braised fennel to salads! It’s great with any entree but especially good with salmon. Don’t take my word for it, try it yourself!

The fennel roasts for an hr and a half??

Hi Helene! Yes, that's correct. We're braising here so the longer cooking time gets the fennel really soft then the additional time without it being covered allows the edges to crisp up.
