Roasted fennel is a fantastic low carb side dish! I've added some radishes for flavor and color contrast, and finished with fresh chives!

This is only my second fennel recipe on the site - the first one being a deliciously creamy low carb fennel gratin - which is kind of surprising as I love it! But I'm limited in the ways I know how to cook it, so I'm starting easy with roasted fennel. You can expect several more keto fennel recipes in the next few months! 

Fennel is an often overlooked member of the carrot family, and is a good source of vitamins C and B6, niacin, calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus and copper. One cup of sliced fennel (87g) contains just over 3g net carbs.

How to Make Roasted Fennel with Radishes

Prepare the fennel by removing the fronds and stalks (reserve some of the fronds for garnish). Slice the bulb vertically so that each slice is still connected via the base of the bulb.

Add them to a baking dish together with some halved radishes. Drizzle some olive oil (or avocado oil) over and season with salt and black pepper.

Roast in a preheated oven covered with foil for 45 minutes or until the vegetables are tender. Remove the foil for the last 10 minutes of cooking.

Garnish with chopped fresh chives and the fennel fronds.

This dish is a fantastic union of sweet aniseed from the fennel, mellow mustard flavors from the radishes, and a hint of onion from the chives.
