  • 2 tablespoons grape seed oil or olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Sea salt and freshly-ground black pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Cut the fennel bulb in half lengthwise. Then, cut lengthwise into thick wedges and chop the wedges in half.
  • Place the fennel wedges on a baking sheet lined with nonstick aluminum foil. Drizzle the fennel with the oil and balsamic vinegar. Sprinkle with dried thyme, salt and pepper.
