Grilled Radicchio with Balsamic Glaze Recipe

Italian · Side dish · 13 min total

This simple side dish transforms bitter radicchio into a smoky, sweet, and tangy delight with a quick grill and drizzle of balsamic glaze.

Ingredients

• 2 heads radicchio (about 12 oz total)
• 3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
• 1/2 tsp kosher salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 3 tbsp balsamic glaze (store-bought or homemade)

Instructions

1. Preheat an outdoor grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 400°F).
2. Cut each radicchio head in half lengthwise through the core, leaving the core intact to hold leaves together.
3. Brush cut sides with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
4. Place radicchio cut-side down on the grill. Cook without moving for 3-4 minutes until grill marks appear and edges are slightly charred.
5. Flip and grill the rounded side for 2-3 minutes more until just tender but still slightly firm.
6. Transfer to a platter, cut-side up. Drizzle with balsamic glaze and serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips

• For a homemade balsamic glaze, simmer 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar with 1 tbsp brown sugar until syrupy, about 5 minutes.
• Serve as a side to grilled meats or fish, or chop and toss into salads.
• Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 days; reheat briefly or serve cold.
