Roasted Lettuce, Radicchio, and Endive image

A Sicilian grandmother taught me to make roasted lettuces this way. I like it for a change from serving cold salad. It is healthy and delicious! Most people like it served with crunchy bread. This also works very well with omelets in the morning or for brunch. Leftovers can be easily re-heated in the microwave.

Time 30m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 heads radicchio, halved lengthwise
2 heads Belgian endive, halved lengthwise
1 head chicory (curly endive), halved lengthwise
1 head romaine lettuce, halved lengthwise
3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
¾ cup pitted Greek olives
½ cup capers
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 ½ teaspoons ground thyme
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon ground dried chile pepper
2 tablespoons grated Romano cheese

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.

This recipe was a bit too salty for my taste. I would use less salt next time.

I followed the recipe exactly and my lettuce was burnt. I would recommend roasting it for a shorter amount of time.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra seasoning and it was much better.

I'm not a huge fan of lettuce, but this recipe was actually really good. The roasting process brings out the sweetness of the lettuce and makes it much more palatable.

I've never had roasted lettuce before, but it was surprisingly delicious! The radicchio and endive added a nice bitterness to balance out the sweetness of the lettuce.

This was a great recipe! The lettuce, radicchio, and endive were all roasted to perfection and had a slightly sweet and smoky flavor. I would definitely make this again.
