Grilled Fennel Seeds: Aromatic Depth for Every Plate

Grilling fennel seeds, or more accurately, dry-toasting them over high, direct heat, unlocks a profound depth of flavor. This method brings out their inherent sweetness and anise notes, adding a subtle smokiness that gentle toasting cannot achieve. It's a simple step that transforms an ordinary spice into a culinary powerhouse.
