👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Trim the fennel bulbs by removing the tough outer layers, stalks, and fronds. Quarter the bulbs, then slice them into approximately 1/4-inch thick pieces.
2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet or pot over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
3. Add the sliced fennel to the skillet, season with salt and pepper, and toss to coat. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until the fennel begins to soften and lightly brown.
4. Pour in the vegetable broth, reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the fennel is very tender.
5. Serve the braised fennel warm as a side dish, garnished with fresh fennel fronds if desired.
