Fennel is a bulb that grows above the ground and has a mild licorice flavor and crunchy texture. The feathery leaves resemble fresh dill and can be used as a garnish. Fennel is sometimes referred to as anise, although they are slightly different plants.
Directions
- Pre-heat oven to 450 degrees.
- Place fennel and onion slices on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, season with granulated garlic, salt and pepper, then toss to coat. Roast for 20-25 minutes until caramelized.
- Spoon sauce over pizza crust and top with 1.5 cups of mozzarella and spinach.
- Spread fennel, onion, and sun-dried tomato evenly over the spinach, then top with the remaining half cup of mozzarella cheese.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes until cheese and bottom of crust are golden brown.
- Garnish with fennel fronds.
