Looking for a vegetarian side dish that holds its own? This recipe for Roasted Fennel and Potatoes on Ricotta is simple and only requires a few ingredients, but comes together into a seriously flavourful plate.
Roasting fennel is like giving it a whole new personality. When fennel's fresh, it's got a crisp, slightly sweet, and anise-like flavour. But when you roast it, that flavour deepens into something more caramelised and mellow, with a hint of nuttiness.
The lemon zest in the ricotta base brings a zippy brightness that cuts through the richness of the other flavours. The combination with fluffy roasted potatoes makes for a dish that's comforting yet sophisticated, and will soon have you eating it like a main! Otherwise, it's perfect alongside chicken, fish or pork.
