Ready In
- Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate.
- Slice a very thin layer from the bottom of each fennel bulb using a vegetable peeler or paring knife, leaving the core in place to help hold bulb intact. Remove fennel stalks, reserving fronds. Slice bulbs vertically into 1/4-inch slices. Brush slices with 1 tablespoon olive oil and sprinkle with ground black pepper and salt on each side.
- Grill fennel slices until charred, about 5 minutes per side; transfer to serving platter.
- Whisk remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, basil, parsley, lemon juice, lemon zest, freshly ground black pepper, thyme, and reserved fennel fronds together in a bowl. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese and drizzle lemon mixture over fennel.
Footnotes
- Cook's Note:
- Make sure to get just the yellow part of the rind, and none of the white pith, when zesting lemon.

This was delicious. If you like fennel, you'll love it and even if you're not a fennel fan, you'll still love it! Dressing is perfect and goes so well with the fennel. I used some extra dress...

A nice twist on cooked fennel. Serve extra "dressing" on the side; it's delicious as a dip for bread too! :-) Thank you for the recipe.
