Preheat the oven to 375°F. In a medium bowl, toss fennel, red onion, and garlic with olive oil to coat. Season with 1/2 teaspoon of the salt and 1/4 teaspoon of the pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast, stirring every 20 minutes for 1 hour, or until vegetables are lightly browned.

Season with remaining salt and pepper. Garnish with reserved fennel leaves. If you have time, let the salad stand at room temperature for an hour before serving, tossing occasionally, to allow the flavors to develop.
