Ingredients




12 Belgian endive heads - (2 1/4 lbs total)
Salt to taste
Freshly-ground black pepper to taste
6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

Preparation

1 Heat the oven to 400 degrees. 2 Trim then cut the endive in half lengthwise; wash and shake dry. Place the endive halves, cut-side down in a jellyroll pan. Add salt and pepper to taste and the oil, distributing it evenly. 3 Bake the endive 10 minutes and turn, then bake it another 6 to 7 minutes and turn again. Cook it until its base feels tender when prodded with a fork, about 20 minutes longer. Allow it to settle a few minutes before serving. It is also good at room temperature. 4 This recipe yields 6 servings.
