Lite Veggie Side - Roasted Fennel

I first discovered fennel while on vacation in Italy in Positano, one of the most beautiful places I have ever been. We ordered an antipasti appetizer at one of the many restauraunts down along the beach, and the roasted fennel that was part of that plate was incredibly delicious! Of course I decided I would try and make that at home (I am told I say that about a lot of restaurant dishes!) and it is a very easy and low calorie vegetable you can make any day of the week. I now make this at least twice a month and get requests for how to make it from friends and relatives often. So easy! Enjoy.
