ROASTED FENNEL AND CARROTS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• Remove the outer layers of the fennel but leave the fronds. Wash with water. Cut into eighths. Scrub carrots under running water, leaving about 4 inches of the green tops. If your carrots are larger than 3/4-inch in diameter, cut them in half.
• Arrange the vegetables on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle Sriracha salt evenly over the vegetables.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the vegetables are tender but not too soft, 20 and 25 minutes. Turn on the broiler and brown the vegetables for about 2 minutes. Serve warm.

BALSAMIC ROASTED FENNEL AND CARROTS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F or 218 degrees C
• Remove the top stems of the fennel bulb and reserve the wispy leaves (frang) for garnish. (The top stems of the fennel bulb are delicious in soup stocks)
• If your outer fennel bulb is tough remove just the outer edge. Cut your fennel in half and cut each half into 4 thin half moon slices.
• Next, peel and chop carrots into long matchsticks.
• Remove the outer skin of the Cipollini onions.
• In a small bowl, combine white balsamic vinegar, lemon juice, olive oil, Sicilian Spice Mix or Italian seasoning, garlic powder and salt and pepper to taste.
• Place your sliced fennel, matchstick carrots and peeled Cipollini onion in a bowl. Pour over your prepared balsamic vinaigrette and toss.
• Pour your prepared fennel, carrot and onion mixture on a lined baking sheet. We always spray a little oil on the bottom of the sheet pan to prevent sticking.
• Bake for 20 minutes and gently turn the carrots, fennel and onions over so they brown on both sides. Roast for another 20 - 25 minutes or until fork tender. Garnish with fennel frangs or otherwise known as the wispy leaves.
• Enjoy

SHAVED CARROT AND FENNEL SALAD WITH HONEY VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Shave the carrots into long strips with a vegetable peeler. Place in a large bowl. Thinly slice the fennel and add to the bowl with the carrots. Chop enough fennel fronds to equal 1 tablespoon and add. Add the apricots.
• Whisk together the honey, vinegar and mustard. Add the oil in a slow, steady stream and whisk until combined. Season with salt and pepper. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss to coat. Let stand at least 1 hour to allow the vegetables to soften. Sprinkle with the pine nuts before serving.

ROASTED FENNEL AND CARROT SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Steam the carrots in a steamer insert set over boiling water, covered, until tender when pierced with a fork, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat; transfer to a bowl to cool.
• In a separate small bowl, whisk together the vinegar, maple syrup, and mustard.
• Add the fennel to the carrots and drizzle with dressing. Mix well to coat. Spread them on the prepared baking sheet. Keep the bowl with any traces of dressing.
• Bake the vegetables in the oven for 20 to 30 minutes or until all the vegetables have light browning on their tops and edges. Remove from oven and let cool.
• To supreme oranges: Slice off fruit ends with a small, sharp knife. Stand fruit on a flat end and slice off all peel and pith in vertical strips, following the curves of the fruit. You'll see membranes separating each segment. Slice each segment away from the membranes on either side. These segments are supremes.
• Slice the carrots and fennel into diagonal pieces and transfer back to the bowl with the dressing. Add the onions and oranges. Mix well.
• When ready to serve place the lettuce in a salad bowl. Top with the mixed vegetables and garnish with parsley and pine nuts.

ROASTED FENNEL SALAD

Steps:

• Trim the fennel, reserving a handful of green fronds. Cut into slices about 1/4-inch thick. Heat a little olive oil in a saute pan, and, working in batches and seasoning with salt and pepper as you go, fry the fennel on both sides until golden and tender. As the fennel is done, arrange it on a serving platter.
• Zest the orange and set the zest aside. Remove the skin with a sharp knife, taking care to remove all the white pith from the fruit. Discard the peel. Cut out the orange sections, arranging over the fennel, and squeeze the orange juice over the whole salad.
• Slice the onion into paper thin rings and arrange over the salad. Scatter over the olives and pine nuts. Squeeze over lemon juice, to taste. Drizzle over a little more olive oil. Finally, scatter over the reserved fennel fronds. Serve.

PEPPERY FENNEL & CARROT SALAD

Steps:

• Tip the carrots and fennel into a salad bowl. Toast the nuts in a hot frying pan for 3-5 mins until golden, then tip onto a plate. In the same pan, heat the oil and fry the mustard and nigella or black onion seeds, if using, until they begin to pop - about 30 secs. Pour in the lemon or lime juice and mix together to make a dressing. Toss together with the vegetables in the bowl, then sprinkle with nuts to serve.

ROASTED CARROT, SPELT, FENNEL & BLOOD ORANGE SALAD

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6 and cook the spelt with the stock cube following pack instructions - don't overcook it, as it should still have a little nutty bite. When the spelt is done, drain it very well and toss on a platter with 1 tbsp of the extra virgin olive oil to stop it from sticking together too much.
• Meanwhile, toss the carrots with the olive oil, blood orange zest and some seasoning in a roasting tin, then roast for 15 mins. Carefully stir through half the honey with the fennel. Continue roasting for another 10 mins, then cool for 5 mins. Cut away the pith and peel from the 2 zested oranges, then roughly chop or slice.
• Whisk together the remaining extra virgin olive oil, 1 tsp honey, red wine vinegar and the blood orange juice with some seasoning. Scrape the roasted carrots and fennel plus any cooking juices on top of the spelt, along with the orange chunks, red onion, herbs and olives. Drizzle over the dressing and toss everything together well. The salad will happily hold at room temperature for a few hours, but the spelt will soak up the dressing - so if you're making it ahead, add half the dressing when assembling and stir through the rest just before you serve it. As you serve, stir through the parsley, if you like.

ROASTED FENNEL AND BABY CARROTS

Steps:

• Put oven racks in upper and lower thirds of oven and preheat oven to 450°F. (If you are making just this dish, you can put oven rack in middle position and roast vegetables on that rack throughout.)
• Toss carrots and fennel with olive oil, water, fennel seeds, salt, and pepper and arrange in 1 layer in a 17- by 11-inch shallow baking pan. Cover pan with foil and roast vegetables in lower third of oven 10 minutes, then uncover and roast, turning occasionally, 10 minutes more. Switch pan to upper third of oven and roast until vegetables are tender and browned, about 10 minutes more.

WARM PEARL BARLEY & ROASTED CARROT SALAD WITH DILL VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Put the sliced carrots in a large roasting tin with the shallots, garlic and fennel seeds. Drizzle over the oil, toss everything together and season. Roast for 35-40 mins until everything has caramelised and the carrots are tender.
• Meanwhile, boil the pearl barley in a large pan of salted water until al dente, about 30 mins. Make the dressing by whisking all the ingredients together with some seasoning. Remove the carrots from the oven.
• Strain the pearl barley and toss through the dressing, carrots, dill, parsley and half the cheese. Finish with a few of the fennel tops and the remaining cheese. Serve warm or cold with a slice or two of warm buttered soda bread, if you like.

ROASTED CARROT SALAD WITH ARUGULA AND POMEGRANATE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425 degrees. Toss carrots with salt, pepper and 2 tablespoons oil on a rimmed baking sheet, and bake until edges are caramelized and carrots are tender, 28 to 33 minutes. Remove from oven and immediately toss with cumin. Let cool for a few minutes while you make the dressing. Carrots should be slightly warm but not hot when tossed with the greens.
• In a large bowl, whisk together pomegranate molasses, lemon juice, garlic, mustard and large pinch of salt and pepper. Taste and adjust lemon juice and seasonings if necessary. Whisk in remaining 1/4 cup oil until emulsified.
• Stir carrots into dressing, then gently toss with arugula, fennel and dill or mint. Serve immediately, drizzled with more olive oil and topped with pomegranate seeds, and yogurt and nuts or pita chips if using.
