Ingredients

4 large fennel bulbs, trimmed and cut into quarters lengthways
290g jar pitted black olives, drained and halved
3 whole garlic cloves, peeled
2 large onions, cut into 1cm thick wedges
250g ciabatta, torn
440g cherry tomatoes
10 fresh thyme sprigs
4 tbsp olive oil
125g mozzarella, torn

Method

Heat the oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas 7. Bring a large saucepan of salted water to the boil, then add the fennel and cook for 5 minutes or until just tender when pierced with a fork. Drain.
Put the fennel and all the remaining ingredients, except the olive oil and mozzarella, into a large, deep roasting dish. Season with salt and pepper, then drizzle over the oil and toss together.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, turning halfway through, until the vegetables are golden and the bread is toasted. Dot the mozzarella over and cook for 5 more minutes or until melted, then serve.
