Instructions

  1. Preheat grill to medium-high heat, approximately 350ºF to 400ºF.
  2. While grill is preheating, thinly slice fennel from top to root to keep slices intact. Toss in olive oil with a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Set aside to marinate until grill is ready.
  3. Spray grill liberally with non-stick spray and grill fennel slices for 3 to 5 minutes per side or until nicely marked and just starting to soften.
  4. Transfer fennel to a plate, garnish with pomegranate arils, drizzle with a little more olive oil and serve.
  5. Chef's Note: Serve fennel alongside grilled chicken or fish and drizzle with a little reserved pomegranate juice for added sweetness if desired.
