Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Pan-Fried Fennel Slices.
Step 1
Start by finely chopping the reserved fennel greens and set them aside for a delightful garnish that will add a pop of color and flavor to your dish.
Step 2
In a nonstick pan, warm up a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat, creating a cozy cooking environment.
Step 3
Once the oil is shimmering, gently lay a layer of fennel slices in the pan.
Step 4
Let them sizzle away, cooking until they develop a beautiful golden-brown color on both sides, which should take about five minutes.
Step 5
Don’t forget to sprinkle a pinch of salt and a dash of lemon pepper to enhance their natural sweetness.
Step 6
Once they’re perfectly browned, carefully remove the fennel from the pan and set it aside, allowing it to rest and retain its deliciousness.
Step 7
Add another tablespoon of olive oil to the pan and repeat the process with the next batch of fennel slices, cooking them until they’re equally golden and seasoned to perfection.
Step 8
Keep this rhythm going until all your fennel slices are beautifully cooked, adding more oil as needed to keep things sizzling.
Step 9
When you’re ready to serve, arrange the warm, pan-fried fennel slices on a plate and finish with a sprinkle of the chopped fennel greens for that fresh, vibrant touch.
Step 10
Enjoy this simple yet elegant dish that’s sure to impress!.
