1 tablespoon grated lemon zest, plus 2 tablespoons
lemon juice
Kosher salt and ground black pepper
Full share Veggie Box fennel bulbs, trimmed, halved
lengthwise and cut into 1-inch wedges
Full share Veggie Box onions, sliced into ½-inch

until ready to serve).

are evenly dispersed amongst the fennel wedges. Cover

vegetables are browned and very tender, about another
15 minutes. Cool on a wire rack for about 15 minutes. Sprinkle the lemon zest and herb garnish over the top
