Preheat your air fryer to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
Trim the stalks off the fennel bulb and slice it vertically into 1/2-inch thick wedges, keeping the core intact.
Toss the wedges with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Arrange the fennel wedges in a single layer in the basket.
Cook for 12 minutes, flipping the wedges halfway through.
Check for a deep golden-brown caramelization on the edges.
