Now I know some of you, like me, are embarking on a fast day, but I just made two of the simplest and flavorful dishes - I have to share!
1) Fennel - cut off the long shoots, rinse it, slice it into 8 pieces, slicing from shoot to stem. Drizzle with EVOO, and throw it in a roasting pan at 400 degrees into it browns on the edges and the leaves become more translucent... it's like healthy licorice! Eat hot or cold, alone or in a salad...get creative - you can't really go wrong.
2) Delicata squash - rinse 2 and slice them into 1/4" rounds, removing the seeds. Drizzle with lemon-infused olive oil (or EVOO if you don't have that), 1 tsp nutmeg, 2 tsp cinnamon and a healthy pour of agave nectar. Roast at 450 until browning, stirring every ten minutes (just not burnt!) It's candied squash...how bad can it be?
