Foil Roasting (Fennel)
Intensifying flavor without adding fat
Foil roasting is a terrific way to intensify flavor without adding fat. It also prevents the dilution of flavor that would result from water-based cooking methods such as steaming and boiling. Fennel is a perfect candidate.

Hi Georgie, I just stumbled across you and your site through a post on the PN forum. What a great site! I recently began thinking more about oven roasting and like the idea for vegetables. How would you recommend this method for broccoli so as to retain as much flavor and nutrients as possible? I’m worried about drying it out and making it chewy. Thanks!

Hello, Jane. Georgie Fear is a regular (and much-loved) contributor to this website, but her website is actually http://www.askgeorgie.com . If you want my opinon, this method may work for broccoli, but I’ve never tried it. If you roast it in foil, it probably won’t dry out, but I’m not sure you’ll be able to do it with zero oil. If you carry out the experiment, I hope you’ll come back and share the results.
