I never knew what fennel bulb was until I made it for the first time today. It’s a very interesting looking vegetable – it kind of looks like an animated hand that’s about to give you a high five. So I felt a little bad when the recipe book asked to chop off its “fingers” first, but hey, I had to do what the book told me to.

I just cut it up into wedges, sprinkled some olive oil and Himalayan salt and stuck it in the oven for about 25mins. It shriveled up into a tiny, unattractive little vegetable that looked very unappetizing… But hey, never judge anything (or anyone) by its appearance, because roasted fennel bulbs are YUMMY!! It’s so full of interesting flavors – I’m not surprised that it’s often used in spices. I’d definitely like to keep this in my mental list of recipes! I would have never known how to cook fennel bulb or even know what it is if it weren’t for Reset
