    You can use a piece of parchment paper so that it doesn't stick. Drizzle it with some olive oil, then season with salt and pepper.

    Fennel fronds are a common replacement for dill, and vice versa. They don't taste too similar, but they each go well with exactly the same things as the other - just tone down on the fennel fronds (or offer portions without) if you're serving someone who doesn't like anise/licorice.
