Perfect for a Sunday roast or as a light accompaniment to a plant-based main, this recipe is naturally gluten-free and packed with nutrients. The combination of earthy carrots and fragrant fennel bulbs creates a sophisticated flavour profile that feels elegant yet remains incredibly simple to prepare.

Ingredients for Roasted Fennel and Baby Carrots

  • 6 bunches baby carrots, peeled and trimmed, leaving 1/2 inch of stems intact

  • 2 medium fennel bulbs, stalks discarded and bulbs cut into 1/2-inch-thick wedges

How to make Roasted Fennel and Baby Carrots

Put oven racks in upper and lower thirds of oven and preheat oven to 232°C. (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.
