Olive Oil Roasted Tomatoes and Fennel with White Beans

This Mediterranean-inspired dish of olive oil roasted tomatoes and fennel with white beans is a vibrant celebration of plant-based flavours. The slow-roasting process transforms the fennel into something beautifully tender and sweet, while the cherry tomatoes burst to create a natural, aromatic sauce infused with garlic and oregano. It is a colourful vegan recipe that relies on high-quality extra-virgin olive oil to provide a rich, silky finish that ties the earthy beans and bright vegetables together.

Ideal as a healthy midweek meal or a sophisticated side dish, this one-pan roast is incredibly versatile. The addition of protein-rich cannellini beans makes it a satisfying stand-alone lunch, especially when served with crusty sourdough to soak up the herb-infused oil. Enjoy it warm from the oven or at room temperature as part of a summer sharing spread.

How to make Olive Oil Roasted Tomatoes and Fennel with White Beans

Preheat oven to 218°C. Chop enough fennel fronds to measure 120ml . Trim fennel bulbs and cut in half vertically. Cut each bulb half ito 1/2-inch-wide wedges, leaving some ore attached to each wedge.

Heat oil in large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat until very hot, about 3 minutes. Add fennel wedges in single layer; sprinkle with 1 teaspoon coarse salt. Cook until fennel begins to brown and soften, turning occasionally, 10 to 12 minutes. Add tomatoes, oregano, garlic, and crushed red pepper; sprinkle with 1 teaspoon coarse salt and 1 teaspoon pepper. Fold together gently.

Transfer skillet to oven. Bake fennel and tomatoes until soft, stirring occasionally, about 30 minutes. Mix in beans and 90ml chopped fennel fronds. Bake 5 minutes longer to heat through. Transfer mixture to large shallow bowl. Sprinkle with remaining chopped fronds. Serve warm or at room temperature.
