FENNEL SPINACH SAUTE
Spinach and fennel are two of my favorite veggies, so I'm always looking for new ways to use them. This is an amazing side dish, but if you slice the fennel a bit smaller, it also makes a great stuffing for chicken breasts or beef tenderloin. -Noelle Myers, Grand Forks, North Dakota

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F or 218 degrees C
- Remove the top stems of the fennel bulb and reserve the wispy leaves (frang) for garnish. (The top stems of the fennel bulb are delicious in soup stocks)
- If your outer fennel bulb is tough remove just the outer edge. Cut your fennel in half and cut each half into 4 thin half moon slices.
- Next, peel and chop carrots into long matchsticks.
- Remove the outer skin of the Cipollini onions.
- In a small bowl, combine white balsamic vinegar, lemon juice, olive oil, Sicilian Spice Mix or Italian seasoning, garlic powder and salt and pepper to taste.
- Place your sliced fennel, matchstick carrots and peeled Cipollini onion in a bowl. Pour over your prepared balsamic vinaigrette and toss.
- Pour your prepared fennel, carrot and onion mixture on a lined baking sheet. We always spray a little oil on the bottom of the sheet pan to prevent sticking.
- Bake for 20 minutes and gently turn the carrots, fennel and onions over so they brown on both sides. Roast for another 20 - 25 minutes or until fork tender. Garnish with fennel frangs or otherwise known as the wispy leaves.
- Enjoy

SHAVED CARROT AND FENNEL SALAD WITH HONEY VINAIGRETTE
I love the flavors in this slaw-type salad. The licorice flavor from the fennel, the sweetness of the carrots, and the tangy-tart apricots meld to create a party in your mouth. And it's so colorful, too. Even better, this salad gets better over time, so it's a great make-ahead side dish.

Tips:
- Choose fresh and tender fennel and carrots. Look for fennel bulbs that are firm and white, with no brown spots. The carrots should be smooth and brightly colored.
- Slice the fennel and carrots thinly. This will help them cook evenly and quickly.
- Use a large skillet or wok. This will give the vegetables plenty of room to cook without overcrowding.
- Heat the oil over medium-high heat. This will help to sear the vegetables and prevent them from sticking to the pan.
- Cook the vegetables in batches if necessary. If you have a lot of vegetables, it's best to cook them in batches so that they don't overcrowd the pan and cook evenly.
- Season the vegetables with salt and pepper to taste. You can also add other spices or herbs, such as garlic, thyme, or rosemary.
- Serve the sautéed fennel and carrots immediately. They are best enjoyed hot and fresh.
