Parmesan Roasted Fennel

I recently picked up some fennel at the grocery store and I planned to roast it with some carrots but I found this recipe on the Food Network and decided to give it a try instead. It was very simple to make and tasted fantastic. I loved the tender fennel with the salty Parmesan cheese - they were a perfect combination. My kids didn't love it but my husband and I sure did.
