Mozzarella and Fennel Traybake

  • 4 fennel bulbs, cut into quarters lengthwise
  • 300g pitted black olives, halved
  • 3 peeled garlic cloves
  • 2 onions, cut into 1cm wedges
  • 250g torn ciabatta
  • 450g cherry tomatoes
  • 10 sprigs of thyme
  • 4 tbsp olive oil
  • 125g torn mozzarella
  • Preheat the oven to 220C. Boil the fennel in salted water for 5 mins, then drain and toss into a roasting tin with all the ingredients except the mozzarella. Toss in the oil and some seasoning, then bake for 25 mins - turning halfway through - until the bread is toasted and the veggies are golden. Dot with mozzarella, cook for 5 mins more, and serve.
