Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Wash fennel bulbs under running water and trim off the very end. Cut the fennel into ½ inch slices, being careful that they don’t fall apart.
Arrange the fennel slices in a single layer in the bottom of a cast iron skillet. Drizzle liberally with olive oil and then season with salt and pepper. Toss them around a bit to coat evenly, being careful not to break them apart.
Put in the oven and roast for 25-30 minutes. When the timer goes off, check to see if they are tender. If they need more time, test again at 5 minute increments.
When the fennel is tender remove from the oven and sprinkle with crumbled goat cheese. Return to the oven for about 5 minutes to warm the goat cheese, then serve.
