Fresh Fennel Chips

Next time you're using fresh fennel bulbs, make this tasty treat to enjoy while you cook. First, cut a few very thin slices of fennel. Place on plate. Drizzle with a slug of good olive oil and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice. Sprinkle with a coarse salt, like Maldon Sea Salt. Then crunch, crunch, crunch. I learned this technique from my HipCooks class ages ago and its one of my favorite snacks.

Fellow foodblogger Cookthink has an excellent guide on how to prep and use fennel (via Columbus Foodie).

Fennel frightens me. I had a bad experience trying to use it in a roast many years so. Maybe it's time to face my anise-scented demon...

I read this post on Friday and picked up some Fennel on my way home. Then I made these for my parents to snack on before lunch on Saturday. They were a HUGE hit. My dad was raving about them for the rest of the weekend and into this week to everyone he talked to. Great idea!
