Zucchini and fennel are subtly sweet vegetables that benefit from a good charring over high heat, which introduces some welcome complexity and bitterness. We found the heat of the broiler worked well. Be sure to set a rack as close as possible to the broiler element and keep an eye on the vegetables as they cook, as heat output varies greatly broiler to broiler. If you have a mandoline, use it to make short work of slicing the fennel. Slicing it against the grain makes it more tender.
Tip
Don’t try to broil all the vegetables at once. There won’t be enough room on the baking sheet to prevent steaming and they won’t char evenly.
