Frequently Asked Questions

Q: can I use different citrus

A: Absolutely. Blood orange, tangerine, or cara cara oranges work beautifully. Adjust sweetness and acidity to taste.

Q: how do I prevent fennel from drying out

A: Don’t overcrowd the pan, and toss with enough oil. Roast at high heat and flip halfway for even caramelization.

Q: can I make this ahead

A: Yes. Roast and cool, then store in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat gently or serve at room temperature.

Q: how long does this keep

A: Up to 3 days refrigerated. Best texture is within 24 hours. Use leftovers in salads or grain bowls.

Q: what sides pair best with this

A: Grilled meats, risotto, couscous, lentils, or a fresh green salad. For drinks, try citrus water or white wine.
