A simple and flavorful side dish featuring the sweet anise notes of fennel roasted with tender carrots and a tangy balsamic glaze.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb carrots, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 lb fennel bulb, trimmed, cored, and cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • Optional: fresh thyme or rosemary sprigs

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large bowl, toss the carrots and fennel pieces with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper. Ensure all pieces are evenly coated.
  3. Spread the vegetables in a single layer on a baking sheet. If using, add herb sprigs to the baking sheet.
  4. Roast for 25-35 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized, flipping them halfway through.
  5. Remove from oven and discard herb sprigs. Serve your balsamic roasted fennel carrots warm.

Notes

  • For a sweeter glaze, you can reduce the balsamic vinegar slightly in a small saucepan before tossing with the vegetables.
  • Adjust roasting time based on the size of your vegetable cuts.
