Roasted Fennel & Baby Carrots
I plan to use my kohlrabi in place of the carrots, but I’ll add some beets and carrots too.
Ingredients:
6 bunches baby carrots, peeled and trimmed, leaving 1/2 inch of stems intact
2 medium fennel bulbs, stalks discarded and bulbs cut into 1/2-inch-thick wedges
3 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons water
1 teaspoon fennel seeds
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Preparation:
Preheat oven to 450°F.
Toss carrots and fennel with olive oil, water, fennel seeds, salt, and pepper.
Arrange in 1 layer in a 17- by 11-inch shallow baking pan.
Cover pan with foil and roast vegetables for 10 minutes.
Then uncover and roast, turning occasionally, 20 minutes more.
Roast until vegetables are tender and browned.
