Roasted Radicchio Recipes

ROASTED RADICCHIO

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Put radicchio wedges on a rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle with oil, and season with salt and pepper. Toss gently to coat, and turn each wedge so a cut side faces sheet. Roast, turning once, until leaves are wilted and slightly charred, 12 to 15 minutes. Transfer to a platter.
• Just before serving, drizzle vinegar over each wedge, and garnish with cheese shavings.

ROASTED RADICCHIO

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees with rack in the center. In a 10-inch ovenproof skillet, combine 2 tablespoons oil and 2 teaspoons vinegar. Arrange radicchio in the skillet, placing 1 sprig of rosemary underneath and on top of each wedge. Drizzle remaining 1 tablespoon oil and 1 teaspoon vinegar over radicchio. Season with salt. Cover with plastic wrap, and then aluminum foil. Roast until tender and caramelized, 30 to 45 minutes.

ROASTED BALSAMIC RADICCHIO

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°F. Rinse radicchio wedges in cold water; gently shake off excess water (do not dry completely). Place radicchio in large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with thyme, salt, and pepper; toss to coat.
• Arrange radicchio wedges, 1 cut side up, on rimmed baking sheet. Roast until wilted, about 12 minutes. Turn over and roast until tender, about 8 minutes longer.
• Arrange radicchio on platter, drizzle with balsamic vinegar, and serve.

ROASTED GREEN BEANS AND RADICCHIO WITH GARLIC

Steps:

• Position 2 racks in center of oven; preheat to 450°F. Divide green beans and garlic between 2 heavy large rimmed baking sheets, spreading in single layer. Drizzle with olive oil; sprinkle with salt and crushed red pepper. Roast until green beans begin to brown, about 15 minutes. Divide radicchio and vinegar between sheets; toss. Continue roasting until vegetables are tender and browned in spots, about 10 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

ROASTED LETTUCE, RADICCHIO, AND ENDIVE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking dish with parchment paper.
• Place radicchio, Belgian endive, chicory, and romaine lettuce halves in a single layer on the baking sheet. Drizzle 2 tablespoons of the olive oil on top.
• Combine olives and capers in a small bowl. Mix oregano, thyme, salt, black pepper, and chile pepper in a small bowl to make spice mixture.
• Stuff inner leaves with olives, capers, and spice mixture using your fingers. Wrap halves together with kitchen string to prevent stuffing from falling out. Drizzle remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil on top.
• Bake in the preheated oven until crispy and beginning to wilt, 10 to 15 minutes. Cut off kitchen string and sprinkle Romano cheese on top before serving.

PAN-SEARED RADICCHIO WITH SOFT CHEESE

Steps:

• Quarter the radicchio head lengthwise and slice the hard white core off of each piece, then cut each quarter in half crosswise. Don't separate the leaves.
• Heat a large skillet over medium-high. Add the oil and carefully nestle the chopped radicchio into the pan, leaving it alone to sear on one side until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir for a few seconds. The radicchio leaves may separate and start to smell like roasted broccoli or kale. Immediately remove the pan from the heat so the leaves don't wilt too much. Season with salt and pepper.
• Add the cheese, placing some pieces directly over the radicchio and others in the empty spots of the pan. The cheese will start to melt and bulge slightly. Drizzle the vinegar and honey evenly over the radicchio and cheese, and finish with a final sprinkling of salt, if you'd like.
• Serve right in the pan with crusty bread for dipping into the melty cheese and pan juices.
