Happy Seasonal Sunday,
Fennel bulbs might look a little unusual with their pale green layers and feathery fronds, but they’re one of the hidden treasures of fall produce. Raw, fennel is crisp with a light licorice flavor, but when you roast it, something magical happens, it softens, caramelizes and turns sweet and mellow.
It’s one of the easiest ways to enjoy fennel, just slice, season with your favorite herbs and roast until golden. No complicated recipe needed, just the oven doing its work. Roasted fennel pairs beautifully with grains, beans or my favorite, roasted garlic mashed potatoes as a simple side dish that feels both comforting and elegant.
Seasonal eating doesn’t have to be complicated. Sometimes, all it takes is letting a vegetable show off what it can do on its own.
With cozy flavors.
I started out over 10 years ago watching Forks Over Knives, decided to “try out” the plant-based meal plan and had shockingly incredible results. I’ve never turned back. I have lost nearly 50 pounds, and that is just one side effect that me, my family, friends and clients have experienced after making the change.
Having been an incredible cook my entire adult life, I started my own personal chef service, NuYu Nourish, to extend my help to others. I interned under a celebrity chef, became a celebrity chef myself and have been expanding my reach and goals ever since! My plan follows strictly and simply those of Dr. Mcdougall, Dr. T. Colin Campbell and Dr. Esselstyn.
