Prepare vegetables: Trim fennel stalks and fronds. Cut fennel bulbs in half, remove the core, then slice into wedges or thick strips. Peel onion and slice into thick wedges.

Season: Place fennel and onion in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with thyme, sea salt, and black pepper. Toss well to coat evenly.
