To prepare Mediterranean Baked Fennel, start by washing and trimming the fennel bulbs. Cut them into slices and arrange them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
Peel the onion, slice it, and add it to the fennel. Wash the cherry tomatoes, cut them in half, and place them in the tray with the other vegetables. Don’t forget to add the 2 cloves of garlic as well. Drizzle with a bit of olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and mix everything thoroughly.
Now prepare a fine chop of sage and rosemary, place it in a bowl with some breadcrumbs, mix well, and then sprinkle this mixture over the fennel and other vegetables in the tray. Add some olives and a few basil leaves, then bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (356°F) to 200°C (392°F) for about 30 minutes.
