Ingredients

  • 1 fennel bulb
  • 1 Tablespoon olive oil
  • salt
  • black pepper

Instructions

  • Take your fennel and slice off any stalks and fronds, if needed.
  • Slice the fennel bulb into 8 wedges. Add to a large bowl.
  • Add the olive oil, and a sprinkling of salt and pepper to the bowl. Gently toss to combine.
  • Add the fennel wedges in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Air fry at 380 for 15 minutes, flipping halfway through the cooking time.
  • Remove from the air fryer and serve as desired!

Notes

  • Fennel layers can fall apart if you cut off the very bottom part of the bulb. Try to leave as much intact as possible, and be gentle when tossing with the olive oil.
  • All air fryers cook differently. Check frequently to see if fennel is cooked to your liking.
  • If using a larger fennel bulb, you may need to slice into more pieces (than the recommended 8) to make them smaller for roasting so they cook through properly.
