Greetings, foodie friends! Today, I’m excited to share with you a delicious and vibrant recipe for a Roasted Carrot and Fennel Salad. This dish is perfect for brightening up any meal with its earthy flavors and crunchy textures. Let’s dive into the details of creating this delightful salad.

Ingredients:

• Carrots (300g)
• Fennel Bulb (1, medium)
• Olive Oil (2 tbsp)
• Maple Syrup (1 tbsp)
• Lemon (1, juiced)
• Salt (to taste)
• Pepper (to taste)

Kitchen Tools:

• baking sheet
• parchment paper
• knife
• cutting board
• mixing bowl
• whisk

To start, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Wash and peel the carrots, then slice them into thin strips. Trim the fennel bulb and slice it thinly as well. In a mixing bowl, combine the sliced carrots and fennel.

In a separate small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, maple syrup, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Pour this dressing over the carrots and fennel, tossing to coat evenly. Spread the vegetables out on the prepared baking sheet.

Roast in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the carrots are tender and slightly caramelized. Make sure to toss the vegetables halfway through the cooking time for even roasting.

Once roasted, remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the carrots and fennel cool slightly. You can serve this salad warm or at room temperature. The combination of sweet maple syrup, zesty lemon, and aromatic fennel will tantalize your taste buds with each bite.

The total weight of the cooked Roasted Carrot and Fennel Salad is approximately 550g. This recipe yields 4 servings, with each serving weighing around 137g. Each serving is estimated to have around 120 calories.
