Why this recipe works
Do not judge only by the colour of the leaves
The thin outer leaves can be brown, although the thicker ribs are still firm. Therefore, the wedges are initially cooked at moderate temperature and tested with a fork at the lower base. The 400 g refers to the actually used, cleaned quantity. Four wedges give two vegetable side dishes, not a full main meal.

Cut into wedges

2
Pre-cook at a moderate temperature
Preheat for 3 minutes to 160 °C if necessary. Put the wedges loosely in the basket and cook for about 16 minutes at 160 °C. Gently turn after 8 minutes; remove loose dry pieces of leaves so that nothing flies up.

Check the thick ribs, then brown briefly
Check with a fork at the thicker base. If it is still firm, continue cooking at 160 °C. If it is soft enough, increase it to 180 °C for about 4 minutes and observe the leaf color.
