Healthy Recipe: Roasted Fennel Salsa

Fennel is great for digestion and tasty too.

1 whole garlic head
2 medium fennel bulbs, thinly sliced
Cooking spray
1 T olive oil
1/2 t salt, 1/4 t freshly ground pepper
1/4 t grated lemon rind
3 T fresh lemon juice
1/4 t minced fresh rosemary

Pre-heat oven to 450F.

Remove white papery skin from garlic head (do not peel or separate the cloves). Cut off top of garlic head; wrap in foil.
Place garlic and fennel on baking sheet coated with cooking spray.
Brush fennel with oil; sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Bake at 450F for 25 minutes, until lightly browned.
Remove from oven and cool 10 minutes.
Separate cloves; squeeze to extract garlic pulp. Discard skins. Chop fennel. Combine fennel, garlic, rind, juice and rosemary in a bowl. Serve warm or chilled.
