INGREDIENTS:

1. 1 medium head radicchio
2. 1 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
3. Salt and freshly ground black pepper

FOR THE GLAZE:

1. 2 Tbsp fresh orange juice
2. 1 tsp honey or maple syrup
3. 1 tsp finely grated orange zest
4. ½ tsp fresh lemon juice
5. 2 tsp balsamic vinegar

OPTIONAL GARNISHES:

1. Toasted nuts (walnuts, pine nuts, or slivered almonds)
2. Crumbled goat cheese or feta
3. Fresh herbs

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Prepare the oven and radicchio: Preheat the oven to 400°F. Slice the head of radicchio into four wedges, making sure to keep the core intact to prevent the leaves from separating.
2. Season and roast: On a small baking sheet, toss the radicchio wedges with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Arrange the wedges cut-side down in a single layer. Roast for 20–25 minutes, or until the edges are slightly charred and the radicchio is tender. Flip them halfway through cooking.
3. Make the glaze: While the radicchio is roasting, combine the orange juice, honey (or maple syrup), orange zest, lemon juice, and balsamic vinegar in a small saucepan. Bring to a low simmer over medium-low heat and cook for 3–5 minutes, or until the mixture has reduced to a slightly syrupy consistency.
4. Glaze and serve: Remove the roasted radicchio from the oven and arrange the wedges on a plate. Drizzle the warm citrus glaze over the radicchio.
5. Garnish: Finish with your preferred toppings, like toasted nuts or crumbled cheese. Enjoy :-)
