How to make Parmesan-Baked Fennel:
- We take the fennels, clean them and remove the top stubble. We cut the fennel into slices that are not too thick.
- In a baking dish we add a drizzle of oil and some parmesan cheese, arrange ile fennel slices on top. We can choose either a round or square baking dish, and we should not overlap the fennel too much.
- We add the grated provolone cheese on top, a sprinkling of breadcrumbs and bake at 200°C (390°F) ventilated for 20 minutes. Once they are ready let’s serve and enjoy them, you will see the fennels with Parmesan cheese will please the whole family.
