Directions

Prep 10 minCook 25 min

1
Heat the oven to 425° and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment for easy cleanup.
2
Trim the fennel, removing tough outer layers if needed, and thinly slice the bulb. Peel the sweet potatoes and cut into 3/4-inch cubes for even cooking.
3
In a large bowl, combine the fennel and sweet potatoes. Drizzle with olive oil, then add paprika, a pinch of cayenne, and salt and black pepper to taste. Toss until every piece is coated.
4
Spread the vegetables on the prepared sheet in a single layer with space between pieces for good browning.
5
Roast 22–28 minutes, stirring halfway, until the sweet potatoes are tender and the edges are caramelized.
6
Taste and adjust salt and pepper, then serve warm. Add fennel fronds as a garnish if desired.
