Have you ever tasted ROASTED FENNEL & PEARS šŸ If you havenā€™t and you enjoy both, you need to try this recipe.


Fresh fennel has a very distinctive taste of anise or licorice and can be pungent for some people. Me on the other hand, loves it anyway. If you havenā€™t tried it roasted, you need to give fennel another chance. It tastes sweet, fresh, and delicious. I used them in this delicious salad that I topped with pan fried pistachio crusted halibut, oh my goodness it was delish! For the dressing, I made a light vinaigrette using my green goddess dressing recipe, which Iā€™ve posted here on Foodtalk Daily. If you donā€™t feel like making homemade green goddess dressing, you can choose to use any dressing youā€™d like. Trader Joeā€™s has one that I used to use frequently until I started making my own.


The roasted fennel and pears can be eaten alone, as a side dish or used to garnish your favorite salad or mixed greens.


Did you know that fennel is considered a super food and its highly nutritious? Itā€™s also low in calories & itā€™s a great source of fiber šŸ’š
