Place the cut sides of each fennel bulb together and wrap them tightly in a foil packet. Arrange these packets on a baking sheet.
Roast for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the fennel is crisp-tender. If you prefer a softer texture, you can roast them for a bit longer. Once roasted, transfer the packets to a cool baking sheet (using protective gloves, as they'll be hot) and open them completely to stop the cooking. When the fennel is cool enough to handle, drain it well and cut each half lengthwise into slices. Don't worry if the layers separate a little.

Add the olive oil to the hot skillet, letting it form a small pool rather than spreading it out immediately. When the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and parsley to the pool. Cook for about 1 minute, gently stirring to coat the aromatics without dispersing the oil pool too much.
Once the garlic mixture becomes fragrant, spread it over the entire skillet and add the sliced fennel. Season to taste with salt and pepper, then increase the heat to medium-high. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring and tossing often, until the fennel is lightly browned.
