- 2 large fennel bulbs (about 2 lb total), fronds reserved
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- ½ tsp fine sea salt
- ¼ tsp ground turmeric
- ¼ tsp ground ginger
- 1 tsp lemon zest (from about 1 lemon)
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice

Trim the fennel bulbs: cut off the stalks and reserve the fronds if using. Halve each bulb through the root, then cut each half into 3 wedges, keeping a bit of the core intact so the wedges hold together.
